I have heard that Mayo will treat lyme effectively, yet in reading their site it seems that they are more concerned with OVERTREATMENT than undertreatment or lack of treatment. I could get to Mayo easier than some places as i could room nearby with family. But, if they are not the best place then it is a mistake to go there. Or..if you all know them to be FIRST CLASS i'll get started. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

NOOOOO... Hold the MAYO!! They admit that they don't "do Lyme." (it's obviously over their heads! [lol]

Do not waste your money! I sent you an private message for a St. Paul doctor.
I was misdiagnosed with lupus from a big midwestern university hospital. My son at age 12 was diagnosed with fibromyalgia from a huge famous clinic. They were wrong. We both screamed of Lyme disease.

Mayo in MN --doesn't know lyme.

Echoing: absolutely NOT !

Now, Mayo may be good for some things but absolutely not for lyme or any tick-borne or chronic stealth infection.

They have been beyond negligent with many lyme patients.

Hold the Mayo - absolutely!! Please stay away from there!! Mayo does not have Lyme-literate doctors on staff.

My aunt's neighbor's granddaughter went there and was told to drink strong Starbucks coffee for her diagnosed "acute fibromyalgia"! FYI - Fibromyalgia is not a disease, but a condition resulting from a bacterial or viral infection.

Turns out she had Lyme all along and was successfully treated by a Lyme-literate doctor elsewhere.

So glad we cancelled our son's appointment before making a huge, costly mistake!!
