Hi, We need a Lyme literate Dr in either Atlanta or somewhere in the Florida area(preferable Central area).

There is SO much to learn with TBI's. It is a multi-systematic disease. Please utilize Lymenet's 'search' function located in the middle of the page. It contains valuable information on all things Lyme, experienced by other Lyme sufferers. You will find this so helpful. Or you can post your questions in the open forum and a Lymenet member will answer.
Good luck on your healing journey. I will send you a private message.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for FL.
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.
Unfortunately, LLMDs are far and few between. You need to go where they are.
Also most LLMDs do not accept insurance due to the politics surrounding this horrible disease. Read poster TF's explanation, "Why Lyme Doctors Don't Take Insurance":
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. Check your local library or buy them used on online.
