I know this might seem bad to say here, but I am having doubts about all of this. Help me understand.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'm just feeling broken and am a skeptical person. So naturally, I will question this.
Yes, I feel horrible most of the time, but if LLMDs were so great and helpful, why do they charge an arm and a leg to help?
Part of me wonders if they're just in it for the money. A bunch of people with no answers and feeling desperate and sick. Vulnerable and willing to pay anything to feel better.
I watched "Under Our Skin" and it seemed like fear mongering and can't believe people are using it as a way to understand this stuff.
Maybe I'm just sad because I know it will break my family and I if I get treatment, but it just seems unfair. If they wanted to help so badly, why charge $1,000 for one office visit.
Why do some take insurance, but others do not?
This is just me venting and I will still go to my LLMD, but I'm just doubting my diagnosis and having a hard time.
Sorry and thanks for listening....

I think we all had doubts ...
Most LLMD's spend an hour or MORE on the first appointment. If you figure what you spend for a "regular" MD for 10 minutes, it levels out a bit.
Also, this is an expert you are seeing. No one else knows HOW to treat Lyme, nor will they stick their necks out in order to treat it.
