Thank you in advance for your doctor referrals and support.

I am a 29 year old female. I do not have a positive or negative Lyme test yet. This is because I have just begun to work with my current doctors (neurologist, rheumatologist, and primary care) to explore the Lyme idea. If this is the direction I want to peruse I figured I should start looking for a doctor sooner rather than later.

I started with the swollen knee and have had recurring and remitting large joint arthritis for 11 years and twitching/tremors for the past 3. Of course all of the usual tests for these symptoms have given no clear diagnosis to date. I am fatigued but not to the extent that others are describing nor do I suspect any cognitive issues.

I currently have Blue Cross Blue Shield HMO in the Northwest Suburban IPA but will be moving back to BCBS PPO in January.

I will send you some info by private message!

PS.. Most of the Drs you mentioned will not be helpful when it comes to Lyme diagnosis or treatment.
