Was suggested that I have Lyme and/or Babesia by a couple chiropractors. Health was going downhill with fatigue, short term memory issues, back pain, some joint pain that came and went. Then Everything went wrong starting a year ago when I had a bad tooth pulled out by a holistic dentist who the same time removed amalgams on that side. I thought I was breathing through the socket and definitely signs of infection. Long story but now after other dental procedures things got even worse. I think I need to do heavy metal detox before treating Lyme, because twitching muscles and cognitive issues and considering how long I had mercury and grinding teeth issues I think that is more important than the Lyme at the moment. Of course the list of symptoms is longer, but I have to sit and think what they are because of memory issues...sleep disorder etc. Found a nice doctor who seems more into this stuff, but not sure about her knowledge, so I'd like to see if any local llmd. Thanks for your time!

I would recommend you post your medical issues in the "Medical Questions" section too. People will gladly give you advice to try and help.
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":
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 read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check the local library or buy it used on Amazon.
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.
