In order for anyone to send you information, you need to enable receiving private messages (PMs). Click on "My Profile", check the box under "Your Preferences" which says "Enable Private Messages", then click 'Update Profile".

The symptoms you describe may be caused by Bartonellosis, one of the co-infections which come with Lyme.

Joe, you have to click on "my profile" near the top of the page. Then, hit "edit preferences."

Then check "enable private messages."

It is good to also check that you want notified by email when someone sends you a private message.

Then, you will see an envelope icon above all of your posts. That tells us that we can write to you privately and give you names of doctors.

Just wondering if anyone had doctored with a physician named Dr. S from Pa? And if so, asking your opinion on expertise?

Hi Joe! Welcome to Lymenet!

Thanks for enabling us to send you private messages. PM sent for PA & MD.

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/PennsylvaniaLyme/info

Maybe they can help.

Some more resources for you (including Support Groups info):
www.lyme-aware.org/pennsylvania.html
www.lymepa.org

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.
