Hello everyone, I came across this site last night and I am so happy that I have found you all. I have a 14 yr old daughter who has probably 98% of the symptons for Lyme's, she has been sick now for almost 2 years. She has seen numerous Gastro doctors, allergists, internal med docs,neuros etc. She has been tested for Lyme's and it came up negative. I understand that even though you test neg. you can still have it. Not too drag on but she is getting worse (over the past few days especially). Doctors here dont know what to do. They are ordering MRI's, EEG, etc. Her headaches are real intense, the slurred speech, "zoning out" etc.
I need to find a Lymes Disease Specialist ASAP. If this person exists in Florida that would be great but at this point I dont really care where I have to go. If anyone can help us out we would GREATLY APRECIATE IT!!!! Hope everyones Thanksgiving was good and thanks in advacne for any help that you may be able to offer. Take Care
