Hi,

I am new to the forum and seeking a "lyme literate" doctor in the central Florida area. I am presently being evaluated for joint pain, severe fatigue, swelling and a rash. I am being told that this could be caused by Lyme, Lupus or Dermatamyositis. Blood work and biopsies were done this week.

I would really like to seek a second opinion to rule in or out Lyme disease by an expert. Any reccomendations you can make to me would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for reading my post. [Smile]

Perhaps search books in print on tick infections by physicians in Florida or SW USA? [Smile]
