Pls help. My sister is exhibiting symptoms of Lyme but we are not sure since her tests have come back negative. We need to take her to an LLMD specialist in our area which is Chester county, PA. Her symptoms are vertigo, muscle weakness, knee pain and swelling, blurry vision, numbness especially when sleeping, tingling, anxiety, panic attack. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for PA & MD.

Your dear sister 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! Her symptoms certainly sound like Lyme.

LLMDs are far and few between, so she needs to go where they are!

Also, most LLMDs do not take insurance due to the politics surrounding this disease. Read poster TF's explanation about this:

"Why Lyme Doctors Don't Take Insurance"
http://flash.lymenet.org/scripts/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/2/15615?#000005s

She needs to get tested through IGeneX Labs in Palo Alto, CA.

When you call for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner by doing this.

Check the online state Lyme groups at:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pennsylvanialyme

Maybe they can help you.

Some more resources for you:
www.lyme-aware.org/pennsylvania.html
www.lymepa.org

The top LLMD, Dr. H, has written a new book entitled, "Why Can't I Get Better?". It is an excellent source of information.

Read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Get it at your local library or buy it used on Amazon.
