I was about to be treated with Rocephin right after Christmas.Been sick for a long time and the doctor agreed that it was best for me right now. After that, no one from the office ever called me back. I called, faxed and pleaded to let me know what was going on. Been a patient for over 4 years and can't believe this. I've seen so many of the famous doctors and thought this was the one to help. Extremely depressing. I live in Connecticut. Any ideas would be appreciated.

- If you have the leader for your closest (and others around you) of the lyme support groups, you might call and ask if there is something going on with the practice. -

I don't have anyone to call. No one should be treated like this especially when you are this sick.

- There might be some kind of logical explanation. It may not be personal.
Their office may have a website or Facebook page if there is an announcement of emergency closure or something like that and if their voice message on the answering machine didn't "take" - perhaps
or if maybe they got a whole new phone system and it's gone haywire by dropping incoming messages & faxes.
The only thing I can think of is to contact someone with one of these groups.
Groups in the U.S. -

- Oh, but in a very similar over in the medical forum, you said that he has changed his mind.
So then, some contact has been made. And the news can be a shock when you were so counting on that IV.
Still, there may be matters that we don't know about when a doctor changes methods. But this seems very up in the air so still you might contact one of the groups new you / the doctor to help sort it out what's behind the sudden shift.
I'm sure others will have other ideas or insight. -

I assume he changed his mind because no one is calling me back. What a nightmare!

- There may have been some kind of office emergency. I always like to hold onto the hope that there could be a logical explanation until I hear from the source.
Good luck. -

Nope- just pick up a certified letter saying he is terminating me because I went to see another doctor which I did since his office wasn't returning phone calls. No reason to discharge someone.

- Oh. Sorry to hear that. Wonder if they thought Rx would be doubled? If you explain that it was because you thought they dropped you, maybe they will understand. But I think they should have called to ask you what was going on.

- So, then you have seen a new doctor. A LLMD, I assume. Do you think that doctor would be a good fit for your case
or are you still searching? -

Did you mention anything about trouble paying or complain about price? That is the only reason I've seen 2 people get dropped by their LLMD. They mentioned it in passing and Boom...They get a letter from the office.
