I'm in my 4th yr. to lyme treatment, from LLMD in D.C., Dr. J.

Has anyone used him with positive results? I'm slowly improving. My

26yr.old daughter has been under his treatment with some positive

results. She's in advanced stage with many systems affected. She

got married and moved south. Now looking for LLMD in calvert

county, MD. Do you have any names.

Thank you for this site, which supplies information for the asking.

There is no good lyme doctor in Calvert County or southern Maryland.

Good lyme doctors are few and far between, so you have to travel to get good care for this disease.

We are fortunate that we have some good ones in D.C. and the state of Maryland. Many southern states have none. Below D.C. there are really few to no good lyme doctors.

Thanks TF! Could you provide me with the names of the LLMD's in
D.C. and Maryland. We may have to switch as the one we use hasn't made much progress with my daughter. She already had a 9mo. bout with IV antibiotics and the regular slew of treatments. Yet, her case is difficult and don't see great strides after 4 yrs. of treatment.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for MD.

Your daughter 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!

Unfortunately, they are far and few between. You need to go where they are.

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":

http://flash.lymenet.org/scripts/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/2/15615?#000005

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.

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

Maybe they can help.

Some more resources for you (including Support Groups info):
www.lyme-aware.org/maryland.html

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.
