Hi, I am seeking a Dr. in MA. My son started having seizures 6 weeks after a horrible virus in 2012. The virus included high fevers and a rash which was called fifths disease, but it didn't seem like fifths to me as my 2 other children had it and it wasn't the same. He has been diagnosed with Pandas because of verbal tics that stopped after a high dose antibiotics.

You didn't mention how old your son is. It helps to know, because not all Lyme doctors see children and some have specific ages they only treat.
Your dear son needs to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease and its complex treatment!
Unfortunately, LLMDs are far and few between. 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":
