I’m 40 years old and For 10+ years have been suffering from pain, fatigue, brain fog, and myriad other symptoms. I have been given the basic Lyme tests by my family doctor and they can back negative. I’m looking for an LLMD in the southern Nj or Philadelphia area. It’s helpful if they accept health insurance.

Welcome to Lymenet!
Testing should be done through IGeneX Labs in Palo Alto,CA.
Here are some links for you to read about Lyme testing:
You need 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 "How Can I Get Better?". They are an excellent source of information.
Also read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. View "Under Our Skin" and "Under Our Skin2: Emergence". Check your local library or buy them used on online.
