We've been asking for help from the membership for weeks asking every member who can to stop in that section and answer the posts for areas they are familiar with.
We appreciate the help some of you have given but we need everyone's help on a regular and continual basis.
There a ton of unanswered posts there right now.
I'm assuming most of you have LLMD's. Can you please stop by that section frequently and answer the posts for areas/states you have knowledge about??
Both myself and Lymetoo keep asking everyone for help and it's not because we want to nag you but be aware that as part of this community your help and participation is needed in that section.
It is not the job of any particular member to answer those posts. Every one must do their part, as a member of this community to help out where they can.
Please, please make it a habit to see what's going on in "Seeking a Doctor" as often as you can. Requests for help come in continuously.
Can we all work together in this community and make it an even better one than it already is?

Help needed for:
MA, CO, PA, NY, OH, MD, KY, IN, CT, DR. K.
Even if a post has been answered your input is still valuable and needed!
Even if a post has been answered it does not necessary mean an LLMD name has been sent. Sometimes general links are sent to help out but the poster is still waiting to hear from you.
LLMD lists for a particular state cannot replace first-hand experience. If you have an LLMD that is helping you, please share your experiences and knowledge with those who are asking for help.

Please be sure to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, as well.
Many unanswered posts get that far down the page and sometimes land up on page two.

I try to keep up with Ohio. I agree that if someone has replied, it doesn't mean that help has been given. We need to be sure that we check out every one with our area in their appeal. Ann -OH

That's great Littlebit and we all appreciate the help that you provide but we need every one's help and ever one in the membership to be involved in this effort. It can't be placed on the shoulders of just a few individuals.
We think it's equally important for posters looking for doctors to hear from the membership, as well, with first hand-experiences good or bad.
It's been wonderful to see the membership starting to get involved more and more with each passing week.
A combination of their first-hand experiences especially in states where there are no or few LLMD's and your LLMD list is a wonderful start for someone who is posting and looking for an LLMD.
Let's keep this group effort going and continue to help make Lymenet the best place to come for Lyme Disease help and support.
