It's been years since I pursued my Lyme diagnosis (diagnosed by Dr G **). After several failed attempts of Rx with abx (no effect) I gave up and pursued other avenues. I've gotten gradually worse over the past 5 years since, and have gotten nowhere with other docs.
I have 3 young girls and starting a new job in April, and have a renewed sense of urgency as my health is on a sharp decline.
Looking for someone who sees the whole picture, and not just focused 100% on Lyme. Someone who is interested in root cause treatment, and makes judgements on imperical information.
I've seen Dr H but did not have the $ to join his program.
I hope there are others that have emerged since then. I live in Dover so Seacoast area is preferable, though I will travel for the right doc.
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.
Read the books written by the top LLMD, Dr. H, titled, "Why Can't I Get Better?" and his new one, "How Can I Get Better?". They are an excellent source of information.
Also "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check your local library or buy it used on Amazon.
