Hi I haven’t posted in years, and for that I’m sorry. When I have more time I will provide an update. Long story short my daughter is now 24, and still struggling. I have moved away from the big city, and I’m looking for a doctor to help her in our area. We live 60 miles south of the big city, and I’m hoping to find someone close by. She seems to be struggling most with MCS & MTHFR issues. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Please PM me if you would like to know our exact location. Thank you!

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for WA.
Your daughter needs to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!
A LLMD is one who has treated Lyme disease and the co-infections which come with it for many years and has gotten patients well. A good one will follow Dr. B's Guidelines, the "gold standard" for Lyme treatment.
Read the books written by the top LLMD, Dr. H titled, "Why Can't I Get Better?" and his new one, "How Can I Get Better?". They are an excellent source of information.
Also read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check your local library or buy it used on Amazon.
Btw - please break up your posts into 2-3 sentence paragraphs, as there are people on Lymenet who cannot read large blocks of text due to neurological problems from Lyme.
