Get your finances in order as Lyme is expensive to treat, with your 1st initial visit being the most costly. Most LLMD'S don't participate in insurances, here's why;
Start a folder and include all things medical. . . Blood tests results, procedures performed with results, providers seen, all diagnosises, daily symptom list, medication list, diet, ect. Take this with you to your appointment with LLMD.
Any questions you have, feel free to post in open forum and a Lymenet member will respond. Also be sure to utilize the 'search' function for valuable information related to all things Lyme and Tick Borne infections.
You are not alone. We are here 24 hours a day, we never close. We will help anyway we can. You can do this Richard.
I will send you a private message.

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 "How Can I Get Better?". They are an excellent source of information.
Also read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. View "Under Our Skin" and "Under Our Skin 2: Emergence" DVDs. Check your local library or buy them used online.
Btw - I know you are new to Lymenet, but you should not use your real name, because this is a public forum with all sorts of people on it. Read this link about it:
You would have to contact one of the moderators to ask how to change your username.
