Hello! I am new to this group. I am 21 and was recently diagnosed with Lyme disease. I was on a 28 day cycle of doxycycline. It has been 3 weeks about since I finished my doxy and while my speech and walking are still better, my other symptoms are starting to get worse all over. Thankfully my lyme test came back positive but my fiancé (19) is starting to experience the same debilitating symptoms but his tests are negative so no one will give him doxy. We are looking for a LLMD in New York state. We live in Central NY closer to Syracuse. We have talked with Dr. B, and although he sounds like an amazing Dr he is a little expensive for us. We then talked to Dr C and his prices are a little better for us. Was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions? Maybe of LLMDs that do payment plans or aren't as expensive. I know there probably isn't because of insurance and how important they are. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

When calling for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner to see a LLMD by doing this.
Btw - please break up your posts into 2-3 sentence paragraphs, as there are people on Lymenet who cannot read large blocks of text due to neurological problems from Lyme. Thanks.
