Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for MN & WI.

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.

Here is a link for them:

http://www.lymenet.org/BurrGuide200810.pdf

Unfortunately, LLMDs are far and few between. You need to go where they are. I don't know of any in ND/SD.

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":

http://flash.lymenet.org/scripts/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=025539;p=0

When you call for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in earlier by doing this.

Check the online state Lyme groups at:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MinnesotaLyme/info

Maybe they can help.

Some more resources for you:
http://whatislyme.com/websites-and-support-groups-by-state/

http://mnlyme.com

http://www.lymenet.org/SupportGroups/UnitedStates/Minnesota/

Dr. H, the top LLMD, has written a book entitled, "Why Can't I Get Better?". It is an excellent source of information.

Read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check the local library or buy it used on Amazon.

I sent you a PM already. I just read your post again and you mentioned eyes. I'm able to stop all eye symptoms by drinking mangosteen juice, an anti-inflamatory juice.

I like the Mango-Xan version as it's the most tart. It's carried in healthfood stores and online. I drink around an ounce a day.

It worked fairly quickly for me, and we're all different in how we respond to treatments.

This is actually a section for finding a doctor, and you're welcome to discuss anything in General Support and Medical Questions, including this discussion.

All the best - Robin

Greetings!

If you go to www.VirginiaLyme.org you will see a "doctor referral" page on the menu to your left.

There is a Lyme treating doctor listed on the CA doctor referral page who is also a trained eye doctor- in Los Angeles (Dr. E. Leh). She also will work with patients via phone consults.

At that site you can also find names and contact information on Lyme treating professionals in all states that have them.

Good luck!
