Hi - I was diagnosed with Lyme last November. I've had it for approx. 25 years. I had babs and bart as well. We think Lyme is the only factor at this point.
I am currently working with a Lyme Literate Neurologist in CT. He is well known and reputable, but not as responsive as I would like (waiting 5 weeks for him to submit a REQUEST to insurance for IV drug therapy - the DR. does this himself so it is not his staff that is the issue).
Can you reccomend a good LL Neurologist that IS good with follow through? I would like to see a top notch Doctor and I am willng to travel. Obviously, someone in the MA/Northeast region would be ideal.
Thank you in advance for the info!
