Any suggestions for a doctor in southern NH or northern MA? In July I saw a doctor at my PCP's office and was told my ELISA test was positive. After being treated w/doxycycline for 3 weeks, I went back for my follow up and the doctor I saw on that visit made me feel all my symptoms were in my head. She told me that I tested positive only on the ELISA, not western blot, and that the ELISA is not reliable because it returns false positives. I've recently noticed my symptoms are starting to come back and really don't want to go back to my PCP's office, they made me feel pretty stupid on the last visit. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
