16 Yr old Daughter with Psychosis. Need LLMD in LA

Hi Pinklynn - welcome to our community.

Be careful of taking her to the hospitals...you don't want her to be admitted to the psych ward and put on psych meds.
I'm sorry that you're going through this....yes, it is a nightmare..
I hope you keep reading posts here...asking questions...and coming here for support. This is a great group of knowledgeable and caring people.

In addition to members recommendations...you can also email me and I will send you names that I have for LA.
You will need to phone to see if they take your insurance.

Click on the envelope under my screen name on the left.

For members to give you recommendations, you will need to enable your email - through "My Profile".

We encourage all new members to read through the thread at the top of the page titled: "New to Lyme?..Start Here!" It's packed full of useful information.

You can also contact ILADS for LLMD names:

I'm so sorry Pinklynn.

You are on the right track now, though...and your beautiful girl will be getting help.

Oh it always breaks my heart to hear about the kids that have lyme. So very sad that youngins have to suffer.

There are other parents of children with lyme on this forum and they are so very helpful.

Hi Pinklynn!
Welcome to our community! I'm so glad you found us.

I can see you've gotten a lot of good information so far, and here are some more options for finding a LLMD:
Y​​ou can go to ​​The Lyme Disease Association and search for LLMD's 3 times in a month. You have to register first. Here is the link:
​​www.lymediseaseassociation.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=277&Itemid=74​​
​​
Tick-Borne Disease Alliance at​: [email protected]
​​
And www.LymeDoc.org

You will want to find an ILADS trained doctor, as ID Docs (Infectious Disease Doctors) as well as many others, believe Lyme is hard to catch and easy to treat, and don't believe in the reality of chronic Lyme. Go to the ILADS site to read the new (2014) Treatment guidelines to get you started on your healing journey: www.ilads.org/lyme/treatment-guideline.php

We are here to help however we can! Just let us know how we can be of help.
