See this recent post about lyme doctors in your area of the country:

http://flash.lymenet.org/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/2/24544

If you are willing to travel north to the D.C. area, let me know. There is a good lyme specialist there.

Also, I suggest you delete your email address since the entire world can see it here. We can correspond with you through the LymeNet private messaging system.

Just click on the paper and pencil icon above your post and you can then edit your post to delete it.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for FL.

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 you call for an appointment, ask if there are any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner by doing this.

Check the online state Lyme groups at:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/GeorgiaLyme/info

Maybe they can help you.

Some more resources for you (including Support Groups):

The top LLMD, Dr. H, has written a new book entitled, "Why Can't I Get Better?". It is an excellent source of information.

Also read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check your local library or buy it used on Amazon.
