I was just notified by my current LLMD that she is retiring as of the end of May. She has been treating me since 2017. I am in need of a new LLMD. I live in the Catskill Mountains. Thank you!

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for upstate NY.
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! LLMDs are far and few between, so you need to go where they are.
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.
When calling for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list (call every day if you have to!). Patients have been able to get in sooner by doing this.
Some more resources (including Support Groups info):
Read the following books - "Why Can't I Get Better?" and "How Can I Get Better?" written by Dr. H, the top Lyme-literate doctor. 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.
