Hello again! I was so thrilled with the quick and valuable response I received with my first posting...Thank you all! I'm in Waterford,CT and need to find a good physician who knows Lyme really well. I'm being treated by my general practitioner and would feel better having a specialist.

I'm in Salem.... there are none in our area. I see Dr. P in Ridgefield, but some see Dr. K in Madison. Not too far from us.

Im in New London county too. I see a Dr. K in Orange Ct, a board certified neurologist who specializes in lyme. Its been about 4 months and Im not much better yet but after being sick for so long it was at least heartening to have someone tell me whats wrong and start me on treatment.
I think he is going to change my treatment next week and then we shall see.

Sofy, could you please email with Dr. K's phone, and address. Some folks are interested in his immunogloblin treatment, myself included.
Thanks. Di

Hey Bluejayer,
Just a thought...
You can double your chances of getting physicians' names if you also post your request under Seeking Doctor.
Just click on Flash Discussion at the left & look for SEEKING DOCTOR in middle of page.
They'll want to e-mail you privattely with exact names as to protect & preserve our LLMDs ability to keep practicing.
Let us know if you still can't find one. Good Luck, Jan

Hi Sofy:
I understand that recently Dr. K was in Newsweek regarding Gamaglobulin for Lyme. Have you been on it, or have you discussed this with your Doctor?
take care
best, lea

I went to see dr K to day and we did not discuss Gamaglobulin treatments. He gave me some gabitril to try for sleep and a scrip for Ketek which Im to start a week or 2 after the gabitril.
He is being inundated by new patients cuz of the Newsweek article. I was in a real fog today so was not my best advocate. He told me that cuz he has so many new patients that now I cant come back in 2 months but must wait for 3 months. Huh???
He also had not looked at the results of my MRI he had ordered. I didnt have a good feeling about the whole appt.
My cynical radar went off like crazy and my hope was crushed. Im just starting to get my hopes and plans back up after the deflate.
I know new cash paying clients who are taking expensive treatments are important but it seems to me he has a moral obligation to the patients he already has too.
I was mute in the office but I will let my feeling be known now that Ive had a chance to sort them out.
