Hello, I am looking for an LLMD for my Mom. She is in South Central Pennsylvania but Northern Maryland isn't too far away either. I am convinced that lyme is the culprit behind her rapidly declining health. After bugging the heck out of her doctor he reluctantly tested for lyme but only for one. He has never considered the coinfections and I'm watching her quality of life deteriorate. I'm desperate. Any help is appreciated.

Your dear Mom 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.
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.
