Hi, I live in Louisville KY and was bitten in April of this year. My general practitioner put me on doxy for 2 weeks but that didn't get the job done. My first infectious disease doctor was unable to diagnose and said that I was an anomaly. The second infectious disease doc has been working with me some - diagnosed me - 2 months after being bitten and put me on amoxicillin for 8 weeks - now rocephin IV for a month. He has said that the rocephin will be the last thing he will prescribe and that if I still have symptoms at the end of the month then they are just a part of my body's immune response and not a sign of an active infection. I am concerned that this current drug might not get the job done. Please help me find a LLMD near me - I am in a very demanding grad school and am concerned about making it through. Thanks in advance!

G_D, I hate ID "doctors" ... They are more than just pathetic. Case in point!
You are in the middle of a huge medical controversy and will now suffer for it. I'm so sorry!!!!
