Thank you for providing help in searching for a LLMD. I'm looking for LLMDs in Arizona. If you have a list of all the LLMD's names so I can pick one, I would greatly appreciate it! Can you please include the titles/specialties of the doctors on the LLMDs list?
+Aside from that, I am also looking for a Lyme-literate Infectious Disease doctor, because I have other major infections contracted by a transfusion when I was a child.
I'm in my 20s and very ill. I've had this disease and others for about 20 years and my health's gotten extremely worse, but I only recently found out that Lyme is one of the infections I have.
I will try to find out which doctors accept Health Choice insurance (government-provided free insurance/Medicaid, because I'm unemployed due to severity of illness). But if none of them accept my insurance, I'll try to go to one who is low-cost and affordable for further testing and treatment.
Thank you kindly for your help, and have a wonderful day! <3

Very few Lyme doctors are Infectious Disease specialists. We recommend you stay away from non Lyme-literate ID doctors. They think one dose of antibiotics is enough to treat Lyme and that chronic Lyme doesn't exist.
Read about the controversy regarding Lyme Disease and its treatment:
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!
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.
