My 10-year-old daughter was just diagnosed with Lyme Disease and is on the first week of antibiotics.
I need an LLMD doc that will help connect all the dots....she has had joint, psychiatric, etc. symptoms for years that I think may all be related to undiagnosed Lyme Disease.
I want to make sure she gets the right treatment that is going to knock this out! Help!!

Your daughter 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. I don't know of any on Long Island.
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":
