Can anyone recommend a good LLD in Northeast PA. While we are doing a lot of research we are trying to find a doctor that can lead to a near normal life style. We are finding it difficult to sift through doctors who have a proven results.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for PA & MD.

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:

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":

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

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

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

Maybe they can help. They would know better about PA.

Some more resources for you (including Support Groups info):
www.lymepa.org

http://whatislyme.com/websites-and-support-groups-by-state/

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

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

Read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Get it at your local library or buy it used on Amazon.

If you go to www.MarylandLyme.org and look at the menu on your left you will see DOCTOR REFERRALS.

You can find Lyme treating health care professionals there, listed by state and country. It also has links to help find alternative doctors, chiropractors, specialists in Morgellons and MTHFR.

You will see some are listed as having phone or Skype follow up appointments.

The Lyme Doc site also has a listing for good labs, links to find a naturopathic doctor, acupuncture and oriental medicine doctors too.

Holistic dentists, experts in mold, and even places to avoid are listed there.

You can check with the good folks at the SE PA Lyme Disease Association too. www.LymePa.org

Here is a "Help For You" page that, if needed, can help with the cost of labs, provide free or reduced priced medications, grants to assist those under 25 with Lyme related costs, free cell phones and more.

Good luck!

Happy New Year!
