I've read through the posts and would like to request a PM with a list of doctors in the Miami or south Florida area. This would be for an 18 year old who has spent over a year in and out of the hospital and has been misdiagnosed with everything from Fibro, MS, and now has an oncology appointment.
Thank you for your help!!

The 18 y.o. 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!
A LLMD is one who has treated Lyme disease and the co-infections which come with it for many years and has gotten patients well. A good one will follow Dr. B's Guidelines, the "gold standard" for Lyme treatment.
Unfortunately, LLMDs are far and few between. He/she needs 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":
