Searching for LLMD in NY/NJ

Good Morning,
In September I was diagnosed with Lyme after having pain in my joints. After treatment with antibiotics, the pain did not go away but instead became worse. After seeing an infectious disease doctor (not an LLMD), a rheumatologist and numerous blood tests, I was sent to a neurologist. After a series of tests, I have been diagnosed with CIDP. I will be going to IVIG treatments, but I was told I still need to find an LLMD to check my levels. I cannot find an LLMD in NJ that is taking patients at this time. I am willing to go to NYC if someone can recommend one for me. I am at a loss.
Thank you.

Welcome to our community, rebecca!

The antibiotic treatment you had made your joint pain worse because of the toxin overload from the die-off. This is called a herxheimer reaction.

You need to start detoxing - starting with a few methods...and every few days adding in another until you are doing multiple methods regularly.
The detoxing will flush out the toxins that have accumulated from the die-off of bacteria.

We encourage all new members to take a look through the "new to Lyme?..Start Here!" thread at the top of the page. It's full of useful information.

As Rikky posted - please enable your email address through "My Profile". We don't post the names of our LLMD's on here for privacy reasons.

Welcome Rebecca!

You can have an IgeneX test done before finding an LLMD. It also speeds things up. It takes a month or two to see a good LLMD, it takes six weeks to get your test results. I would get testing done while waiting - that is what we all did.

What is CIDP? I have heard good things about IVIG -keep us posted.

Welcome to this community. Great group of members who have helped me tremendously.

Good luck.
