I am currently seeing a holistic doc in Brooklyn, but am looking for an integrative doc. I've seen Dr. P and he suggested I go on antibiotics for a minimum of 12 weeks... NO THANK YOU. Trying to find a doctor in the NYC area who will take an integrative approach... I've only had the western blot test which was positive for IGM, so I'm not even sure if I have coinfections and if I do, which ones.
Thank you!!
(editing out last name of doctor)

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":
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 that, click the pencil/paper icon, make your changes, then click "Edit Post". Thanks.
