Hi Overwhelmed2017 -
Welcome to the forum - I'm sorry you're here but very glad you found us. We encourage all new members to read through the "New to Lyme?" thread at the top of the page - it has invaluable info for those starting on this journey and can help you prepare for your appointment with the Lyme specialist.
You can email Girlie, Goshawk or me and we can help you find a specialist in your area - just click on the envelope icon beneath our screen name to the left - it will bring up a profile page with an email address.
You can go to The Lyme Disease Association and search for LLMD's three times in a month. You have to register first. Here is the link:

ILADS has their own referral system as well:
ilads.org/ilads_media/physician-referral/And
www.LymeDoc.orgYou 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--they adhere dogmatically to the IDSA and very narrow definition of Lyme and limited treatment. Go to the ILADS site to read the new (2014) Treatment guidelines to get you started on your healing journey:
