All of my symptoms match with Lyme disease with Bartonella co-infection. A list of LLMDs within a 5 hour drive of Houston, TX would be great. Thanks!

You need to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!
A LLMD is one who has treated Lyme disease and the co-infections which come with it for many years and has gotten patients well. A good one will follow Dr. B's Guidelines, the "gold standard" for Lyme treatment.
LLMDs are far and few between, unfortunately. You need to go where they are.
Also, most LLMDs do not accept insurance due to the politics surrounding this horrible disease. Read poster TF's explanation, "Why Lyme Doctors Don't Take Insurance":
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.

Could you share the list of TX doctors... I have been experiencing some strange symptoms after removing a tick. I am closest to DFW region.

You should write a new post instead of adding on to an existing one. That way, more people will see it and respond, because most don't re-read old posts.
PM sent for TX.
