Moving to state of Texas in 1 month looking for Llmd or integrative doc preferably that will accept insurance or Medicare. Not sure where to exactly in TX but I know I need to be in an area with majority of congregated doctors that can really help my Ill daughter if one decides to not help. I know TX is huge but am looking into dallas/Houston/San Antonio/austin area all the way to El Paso EVEN New Mexico if any are there. Ty

Your daughter needs 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.
Btw - I know you are new to Lyme, 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.

I would like to further broaden my search beyond TX because from my understanding is TX is difficult as well.
I don't want to run across country with my disabled and totally bedridden daughter to the arms of possibly another state similar to what I am running from.
I got a few PMS suggesting Cali. Does anyone have any CALI Lyme Accepting doctors that will accept her medicare insurance so I can start research.
If anyone has a list I would love to review for most congregated doctors to narrow down if the move is a possibility even financial wise. Thank you so much for helping us in our journey in Lyme.

It doesn't matter to me as far as location in CA or TX because it is something I must do at this point. I will go to where THEY are (hoping that there is an established group to chose from)
I will take her to Natural/holistic/LLMD/MD/Integrative Dr. willing to treat her and knows how to and is not scared of her because of her current state.
She worries doctors because she is "work" as she is bedridden. This is why I will go anywhere at this point. I have to help her in anyway that I can somehow.
Please medicare or the government assistance and if self pay something that can be under $500 initial visit and continued under "$250" if it exists.
I don't know if I can purchase an insurance for her that the doctor will gladly accept but I will go that route too if I need too.
