I am a new member seeking LLMDs in Maryland. I have been seeking answers to my numerous, seemingly unrelated problems for years. The most constant are heart palpitations, constipation, insomnia, memory and word problems, tiredness, muscle weakness and more recently constantly achy and sometimes slightly swollen finger joints. Sometimes I feel so exhausted, I feel difficulty even getting out of bed.
For the past day I've been experiencing the most annoying right eye twitch which seems to also be causing a headache on the same (right side) of my head! This is what finally led me to this site.
Please list the highest rated LLMDs as possible. Years ago I suspected Lymes. I spent a week in bed with a stiff neck, achy back and swollen and very painful joints. It hurt just to walk. I was tested for Lymes but was not treated because the test came back negative. I worry that irreparable damage may've resulted in so many years with non-diagnosis.
Thank so much for your help!
