LLMD in North or Central NJ

Hi

I was recently diagnosed with Lyme, most likely infected a year ago. I was started on doxy for three weeks, 200 mg/day by my GP.

I need to find a LLMD that takes insurance in the NY/NJ area. If you have one that you recommend, please email me. Thank you so much.

Hi Kak!
Welcome to our community! I'm so glad you chose to join us.

I agree with Girlie, and in case you didn't realize - 200 mgs of Doxy a day is too low of a dose. The LLMD will be able to correct that for you.

I​f ​you haven't ​yet​, it would be helpful for you to start with reading through the thread at the top of the forum titled,"New to Lyme?...Start here!!", as​​ ​​it is packed ​​full of ​​important information​​, symptom lists, helpful links and pdf's, how to detox when one has these infections, information on probiotics and much more.​​ ​​​​And, here's another good place to find helpful detoxing rout​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ines​​:​​​​​​ ​​​http://www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.html​​
​

Here are a few more resources you can check for LLMD referrals:
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:

​​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Y​​ou can email ​​​​the​​ ​​​​​​Tick-Borne Disease Alliance at​: [email protected]​
​​

​​ ​​​​​​​​ILADS has their own referral system as well:

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.lymenet.org/BurrGuide200810.pdf
