Anyone have a GOOD Rheumatologist in the Akron/Cleveland area? I know that might be asking a lot.. [Wink]

My lyme Dr. wont treat me for anything other than lyme, I have to get my auto-immune problem figured out.

Lyme often CAUSES what appear to be auto-immune problems. Your LLMD should be working to treat infection(s) - then what is often misdiagnosed as auto-immune might move on out of the picture.

Other chronic stealth infections also cause what can appear to be auto-immune disorders. So, whomever you go to does need to be completely ILADS-educated about lyme and all tick-borne and stealth infections.

Ask at the local lyme support groups.
