I am seeking a Lyme specialist or atleast a doctor that has knowledge of Lyme in the Cnetral ohio area. If anybody knows of one please let me know. I have been unable to get diagnosed and I keep getting sent to MS specialist even though I cant get that diagnosis either.
My symptoms began six months ago with flu like symptoms that lasted for four days. Lost arm strangth in both of my arms. Now six months later, three doctors later they are leaning towards MS however I now have severe burning sensation in both my knees and hips. arm weekness in my left arm and as my wife puts it I have been acting "strange" cant concentrate. I am now feeling depressed and have never been depressed prior.
I had no bite that I was aware of, my initial lyme test in August came back negative and Lyme has not been brought up again.
Thanks

welcome, i'm sending you a PM on info you want. there are other llmds in states surrounding you as well; so keep that in mind ok! Betty
and try this too!
Please go to SUPPORT GROUPS, left-hand side column by state. CALL the nearest group leader for advise. Do NOT email; many are too sick to reply; thanks!
People seeking doctors in certain states might be able to get help from their state online information and support group. Over 1500 people belong to these state groups. Many of the groups are small but quite a few have 20 or more people on them.
Type your state name and lyme as one word, e.g. newyorklyme
For SC, SD, ND and WY, put a hyphen between the statename and lyme, e.g. northdakota-lyme
The groups are moderated so you have to apply, and we don't allow doctor names, but once on the group, you can ask for doctors in a certain area and ask people to email you privately.
