Looking for a LLMD or someone open-minded and resourceful who will consult with an LLMD (near Myrtle Beach, SC who accepts insurance (BC/BS).) Ruling everything out over 4 years, getting Hematology blood work (results tomorrow) without Lyme test, BUT Labcorp and skin biopsy (negatives) were completed recently by Dermatologist. Started on Doxy 100 mg 2xday (Dermatologist); but with significant weight loss before ever starting it, after becoming so sick in day five I couldn't eat (plus other things), I had to stop. Day 7 still having hard time eating due to nausea. When I get my weight back up I may start again at half dose, or maybe wait on other doctors recommends. PM me with a recommend please. Thank you very much.

I don't know of ANY LLMD's in SC. Can you make it to NC??
You might be able to take doxy if you take it in the MIDDLE of a FULL meal and do not lie down for an hour after taking it. It will burn your esophagus if you don't do this.
I'll be back tomorrow! hang in there!

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. I don't know of any in SC.
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":
Btw - please break up your posts into 2-3 sentence paragraphs, as there are people on Lymenet who cannot read large blocks of text due to neurological problems from Lyme. Thanks.
