I sent you a name and some info. I strongly suggest that you be willing to travel outside of New Jersey to get good treatment.

On the left side of this page you will see Support Groups. You can contact any of those that are near you to ask for patient input on good doctors.

Do a lot of inquiring before laying out a lot of money. Your choice of doctor is an extremely important one.

Welcome to LymeNet! We will help you here all we can.

Victor,

You have to look in "my profile" near the top of the page to look at your private messages.

You have the message there.

You should also have a flashing envelope near the top of the screen telling you that you have an unread message.

I don't send info through email because I want to preserve my anonymity.

Let me know if you still can't find the private message I sent you.

sony732 - Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for NJ.

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":

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:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/NewJerseyLyme/info

Maybe they can help.

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

VicBaba - Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for MD.

You should write a new post instead of adding on to an existing one. That way, more people will see it and respond. Most don't re-read old posts.

Lymenet members correspond by private messages (PMs) not e-mails, because this is a public forum with all sorts of people on it.
