[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bartenderbonnie: [QB] I read your last post and you said you found a LLMD close to your home. Is he/she ILADS trained ?
I googled and found a Dr that claims to help and know about Lyme, but I'm wary about just assuming he really knows his stuff. I contacted him, but want to know if anyone in my area has actually seen a Doctor that they know and recommend. I don't have a ton of money to just pay and hope he can help me. I did go to my regular Dr and she ordered a TON of testing so even with that I hope I see some sort of answers and I'll go from there!

Many Infectious Doctors, Primary Care Physicians, Neurologists, and other main stream doctors will claim they treat Lyme disease. And they do. . .for 28 days (f your lucky) . . and ONLY if you have a positive Lyme Western Blot test. Then they will declare you cured, good-by.
Lyme tests are notorious for being flawed, missing up to 70% of Lyme sufferers.
You must become your own health care advocate. There's ALOT of homework. Save all of your testing as this could save you money. Many LLMD's will diagnosis you clinically (by your symptoms) and also by reactive bands that show up on the western blot.
Let us know what your tests show. We will help you.
Anyone from Texas that can help Ishanda ?

I have requested information from the sites above. Only thing I haven't done is watch Under Our Skin. I haven't been able to get to where I can watch it. I am looking into see how to do so. Thanks.
