Hi there. I am in search for a doctor in Mass. In the last 3 years i have seen 3 different PCP's. All 3 have said to me, looks like lyme .. acting like lyme.- but none have treated me because the tests come back negative . I have been in the hospital 2 times. I am 34 years old.. with 3 small kids .. i cant be sick all the time!!!! I feel at times my life is spinning out of control i am so sick some days.. other days.. i feel fine. Today.. i have have "tingles" in my left hand and leg. Like i cant feel them.. my most recent doctor says I have "anxiety" problems. I have NEVER had anxiety'! Just because i have 3 kids.. everyone assumes crazy.. or that i am so tired.. cuz i have 3 kdis.. not the case!! I am stronger then that!! I am so sick of being sick. Can someone please help me with a drs name!?

When you've been tested, do you know what tests they are doing? The ELISA has a high rate of false negatives. The Western Blot is more accurate. I had to specifically ask for it, and then had to take the order for the blood work somewhere else because my PCP could not even access the code for it. You are not crazy. Keep on going!
