Hi, I am desperate to find an LLMD as close to home as possible. My sister has a positive Bartonella diagnoses and because her symptoms went from a slight slur and twitching, to what looks like bells palsy with rumblings under her left side of face, arm and leg and speech is very hard to understand, was just told by an ALS specialist that she definitively has ALS.

I need with everything that I have for this to be Lyme Disease and not the ALS death sentence.

Sheepla, I briefly saw a Lyme neurologist, Dr. K., in Orange, CT. He does not take insurance and the first visit is $1500.

I saw him b/c I was having severe neurological symptoms. He ruled out everything else, and confirmed Lyme and co-infections. I knew I had Lyme (I had the bullseye rash, but my testing was not CDC positive). But, his validation provided peace of mind. I inevitably chose to work with an LLMD closer to where I live in MA.

If you would like to PM me, I will provide you with his information.
