My sister really needs an LL cardiologist. She is in San Francisco. She had an abnormal EKG and her LLMD suggested she see her PCP to recommend a cardiologist, but her PCP does not believe she has lyme, babesia or bart even though she tested positive for all three!!!
I'm worried about her! Please PM with any info--thanks!

Did you make a typo in this posting? Did you really mean that her LLMD doesn't think she has Lyme, or did you mean that her primary care doc doesn't think she has it? I assume you mean the second.
Recommend you join the CaliforniaLyme on-line support group:
You can also send an email to CALDA through the above website, and ask if they have a recommendation to offer.

I DID make an error, sorry! I am not thinking straight these days. I edited my post.
My sister is worried she got her LLMD in trouble because her PCP told her she shouldn't be taking the drugs she is on and she doesn't have lyme, etc.
I told her I wouldn't worry too much as everytime I go to another doctor they question why I am on all these drugs. Even the pharmacist asked me about 7 times yesterday if I was SURE my prescriptions were right.
She really does need an LL cardiologist though. I'm really worried about her. Her LLMD said it was something about one of her heart chambers not working right? That is VERY scary. Plus she has high blood pressure and feet and hand swelling.
I will recommend these groups and hope she reaches out to them. Lately when I talk to her she makes NO sense which scares me even more. That's why I'm trying to do this research for her even though I also have lyme and am not entirely with it.
