I was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme 25 years ago. Most of that time I had few symptoms. Now things have gotten really bad. The doctor who gave me that diagnosis no longer sees Lyme patients because of legal reasons.
I have a very limited income. I am looking for someone who takes Anthem blue cross blue shield. I had a N.O. doctor but I could not afford the price of the natural path medicine, they sold in the office. She would not give me the ingredient list so I could D.I.Y. it. I have some medical back ground. I am an avid gardener and forager. I have experience in making my own remedies..But the Lyme is beyond me. I am coming up with to many possible cures. I would love someone who would work with me. I need someone I can afford.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent with names for LLMDs/LLNDs in CT.
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.
Scroll down for financial help, etc., available from several sources.
The Lyme Test Access Program (Lyme-TAP) is a nationwide patient assistance program to provide assistance for initial Lyme-related lab tests to patients who demonstrate true financial need. I think coverage is up to 75%. View on www.lymetap.com
Btw - I know you are new to Lymenet, but 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.
To do this click the pencil/paper icon, make your changes, then click "Edit Post". Thanks.

Onevoice with your background the books and site by Buhner might be helpful. He doesnt see patients. Hes not a medical doc. He is brilliant and has written books on how to use herbs to treat lyme and coinfections. His older books are very cheap on amazon and have good info. He also has a facebook group i think
