My husband has been suffering for the past 3 years and passed around to a myriad of doctors and specialists, including 3 visits to The Mayo. He has had a positive result on the initial Lyme Test but the Western Blot always comes back negative, so doctors have ruled out Lyme. But based on symptoms (and the fact that every other test is showing he is perfectly healthy) we are pretty sure he has chronic Lyme. Need to find someone in Minneapolis who can help him feel normal again. We have a 2 year old and my husband is not able to do as much with him as he would like and we are holding off on having a second child until we can figure out how to improve his health. Please help!

Your husband needs 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":
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.
