I don't know of any near you, but I will send you the name of a good doc in upstate NY that will be a drive.
Also, contact the lyme support groups near you and in nearby states. See Support Groups on the left side of the page.
Contact as many as you can to find out who the good docs are in your area and who is getting folks well.
At least half of all lyme patients go out of state for their care and many fly. That is because lyme doctors are few and the good ones are very few. The really good ones generally have a wait or are not taking new patients. So, be prepared for that.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for upstate NY.
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.

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