Hi. I am interested in contacting a LLMD in Connecticut Southern/Central is great, but I will travel anywhere in CT or out of state if necessary. The neurologist I saw was very out of touch with this complex issue.

Thanks,
WellinCT

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for CT.

You need to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease and its complex 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":

When calling for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner by doing this.

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

Maybe they can help.

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

The top LLMD, Dr. H, has written a new book entitled, "Why Can't I Get Better?". It is an excellent source of information.

Also read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check your local library or buy it used on Amazon.

Smerrill - you should write a separate post instead of adding on to an existing one. That way, more people will see it and respond because most don't re-read old posts.

I don't know of any. Check with the CT Lyme Support Groups I gave you. They would know better.
