Hi, I am looking for a Lyme literate or even just a Lyme friendly neurologist in Florida.
I am possibly looking for one who can prescribe IVIG.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Welcome beck

IVIG is very expensive and is not a silver bullet, cure wise.
I just reached my 2 year anniversary of receiving monthly IVIG treatment. It is just 1 of the many protocols I am on.
Here is my journey for suggestions for you;

If you can get to an Immunologist, get your IgG subclasses tested to see if you can qualify for insurance covered treatments.

You can request ILADS LLMD'S here;

You can request LLMD'S through Global Lyme Alliance here;

There is a message box where you can write you are seeking for a LLMD Neurologist. They are pretty quick to respond. Make sure you research each doctor on what type of treatment they offer. Also Google for patient reviews.

I will send you a private message.
Healing wishes.

Check the online state Lyme groups at:

Maybe they can help. They would know better about FL.
