I live in NY and due to recent test results, it is suspected I have had Lymes Disease for the past 9 years.
I have no health insurance, no job, and desperately need treatment.
Does anyone know of a doctor who will either treat on a sliding scale, or free?
I will travel as far as necessary. I just dont want to spend money on 20 different doctors and 20 different medications.
I would love someone who knows what they are doing so I dont end up wasting money.
Of course, I will spend what I have to to get better
but anyone who has seen numerous docs for any reason knows that plenty of them can be a complete waste of time....
that may be why I have been living with this disease for so long and it was only recently discovered.
Please help me if you can. Thanks!
