I hope you get some personal referrals. In the meantime:

� Ask your LLMD;

� call all LLMDs in your area for their suggestions of a LL L.Ac. (acupuncturist).

� Contact area Lyme Support Groups: http://www.lymenet.org/SupportGroups/

� Many results from a Google search for: Acupuncture, Massachusetts

For both groups below: Call and ask if they know of any L.Ac.s who have a particular interest or experience with lyme. Some may note that in their professional affiliations.

==================================

http://aomsm.onefireplace.org/

The Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Society of Massachusetts (AOMSM) is a non- profit professional organization

=======================

http://www.nesa.edu/

New England School of Acupuncture

[Some of the instructors might be ILADS-educated and LL � or they may know of some who are.]

=================================

You might extend the search to a ND (naturopathic doctor). Many (if not most) are also trained and certified in acupuncture. You'd run through similar steps as above to find their professional organizations. Other links here:

If you can travel to Providence, you'd be getting not only one of the best acupuncturists in the Northeast, but a totally Lyme Literate one in Luvdogs.
