Located near Raleigh, but willing to travel, if needed. Enjoyed several wonderful years in a remission, but have gotten over my denial and realize I am in a raging relapse.
I don't have it in me to go from doctor to doctor anymore...just need the best. Thanks in advance for any direction provided.

Welcome back to Lymenet! PM sent for NC & 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!
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. 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":
