Hi Everyone, I will also be posting a list of symptoms under the medical advice board. I guess I don't know if I am able to find a doctor - I have seen 13 so far and have been provided the diagnosis of everything from depression to food allergies. I feel like doctors do not take the time to look at a complete history or think outside the box. Am I confused?? Should I be looking for a 'specific' kind of doctor?? I don't know about the medical field so I assume that when I go to my family doctor they should refer me to the kind of doctor I will need? But instead I get a handful of pills and vitamins. Thanks for your help, good luck to others who are lost like me!

I read your post in Medical Questions and I think you should see a LLMD (Lyme Literate Doctor). This would be the best specialist to diagnosis you.
Mainstream doctors, for various reasons, do not diagnosis or treat Lyme and co-infections the way they should.
Hopefully someone will come along and give you suggestions for a doctor in your area. If you are able to travel to see a doctor, you may want to make a note of that too. There aren't enough LLMDs to go around and sometimes it is necessary to go out of state to get help.
