Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for IN, MO & OH.

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:

http://www.lymenet.org/BurrGuide200810.pdf

Unfortunately, LLMDs are far and few between, so you need to go where they are. At least half of all Lyme patients travel out-of-state for treatment. I don't know of any in KY.

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

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

Maybe they can help.

Some more resources for you (including Support Groups info):

www.kentuckyindianalymesupport.org

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

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

Read the books written by the top LLMD, Dr. H, titled, "Why Can't I Get Better?" and "How Can I Get Better?". They are an excellent source of information.

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

You're very welcome - glad to help.

I was still able to view it. Perhaps you computer has some software, etc. which doesn't allow you to view it?

Hello KY. I'm a co-founder of a Lyme Support group in Louisville. I'll be glad to assist you with some doctors names.

There is not a Lyme literate doctor in KY. But I have some names of docs in TN and Central IN. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

Our website is www.kentuckyindianalymesupport.org

Howdy Neighbor.

Sorry to have met you this way, but hi nonetheless. I went to a LLMD in cinci and quickly found out she didn't know much. I am seeing a LLMD in the DC area and have made progress over the year I've been with him. I only have to travel to see him every 3rd month.

Just a thought.
