I requested a LLMD in IL a couple weeks ago, and I received a very quick response. Thank you for that!
Now, I'd like to request names for LLMD's in MI. My friend lives in a small city named Berrien Springs. She has been suffering from chronic pain, nausea, and fatigue for years. She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. However, the medicine she was prescribed have not been helping. I think it's very possible she has Lyme and that she should be tested by a LLMD.
Can someone please send me a list of all the known LLMD's in MIchigan please?
Thank you in advance!

Yes, your friend should be evaluated and treated by a LLMD. Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!
Sick people suffer needlessly for years because they aren't under proper care and don't have the correct diagnosis. It's an absolute nightmare!
Fyi - Fibromyalgia is not a disease, but symptoms resulting from a bacterial or viral infection. Non LLMDs like to use that so-called "diagnosis" when they can't figure out what is going on!

Thanks, I just saw this after I sent you a private message, so some of that is repetitive.

Hi I'm new to this board 😊 I believe I might have Lyme, I have been suffering from Neuropathy Hoshimotots Fybro for 3 yrs now. I have been blood tested for Lyme at reg dr office and was told I didnt have it. Then dr told me blood test isn't accurate but didn't know what else to do. Went to Chiro and was muscle tested and was told I didnt have it. I have developed so many food sensitives I'm afraid to eat. I seem to react to every med I'm given for my thyroid issues so I take nothing. I take some vitamins for Vit D and B12 and I have to spread them out thru out the day so I don't react. My systems are getting worse had to quit my job can't drive. Very Very tired and depressed. Is there anyone that can recommend a Dr in Michigan that might be able to help? 😔 Thank you😊

You should write a new post instead of adding on to an existing one. That way, more people will see it and respond.
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!
They are far and few between, unfortunately. You need to go where they are.
Testing needs to be done through IGeneX Labs in Palo Alto, CA.
"Fibromyalgia" is not a disease but symptoms which come from a bacterial or viral infection. It's a label non LLMDs use when they can't explain what is going on!
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":
When calling for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner to see a LLMD by doing this.
Btw - please break up your posts into 2-3 sentence paragraph, as there are people on Lymenet who cannot read large blocks of text due to neurological problems from Lyme. Thanks.
