Hello. I am newly diagnosed with Lyme and several co-infections, as well as EBV. Would love recommendations for a LLMD in southern PA or northern MD, please.
Thank you!!

I know the lyme docs in your area.
If you are willing to travel further, you can get a very good doctor. Good lyme doctors are few and far between.
Are you willing to travel to the D.C. area? You only see the doctor once per month. And, you can do telephone appointments if you wish. (But no insurance reimbursement for telephone appointments.)

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.

Sent you a private message with a recommendation. TF recommended him to me, and I'm very pleased with him. I've been seeing him since Oct 2015. Welcome to Lymenet!

Thank you all for the referrals! I have started to make some phone calls. TF, if you have any to add, that would be great! Yes, I would travel to DC if necessary.
Thank you!
