Are you willing to travel? If so, I know a doctor in Maryland who can see you quickly and he is good.
Let me know.
Lyme doctors are generally near or in large cities, and you are not near a large city. It is best to be willing to travel.
You can contact the lyme support groups in your state by clicking on Support Groups on the left side of the page.
Ask them about doctors and wait times. Then, you may be willing to travel.
This doc will do Skype or phone appointments after the first appointment, so you would not have to travel to Maryland monthly.

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.
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.
