Just had a baby girl October 2nd and sent chord blood to iGenex. Results showed positive for Lyme which of course confused all the normal doctors. Need LLMD to help! My wife has chronic Lyme and we don't know what to do since the little one is so young. Please help!

Your baby 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!
They are far and few between, unfortunately. 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":
You might also want to call the top Lyme pediatrician, Dr. J, to ask what he would recommend. I sent you his phone number.
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.
