I was diagnosed with LYME DISEASE a few days ago after months of illness. I am miserable and am in pain. My doctor prescribed antibiotics and told me to get to an infectious disease dr but none seem to be taking new patients. I need help fast. Any recommendations for Fairfield County CT?

I was unable to post a PM to you. I would start with either Dr. K or Dr. Y.
We don't post actual names so please open up your private messages or send me a private message and I'll respond.

Unfortunately you are experiencing the Lyme controversy which all here know about.
It's amazing there is a controversy to this insidious disease and I've found it easiest to show a couple of u tube video's on the controversy.
He is a saint and I show this to help illustrate how MD's have been prosecuted so normal MD's shy away from doing anything but following the flawed IDSA guidelines.

I believe I set up Private Reply. I have been through quite a bit in the past several months and would appreciate any guidance.

You need to get to a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD) a.s.a.p.
Please do not go to Infectious disease doctors as they have no clue about this horrible disease and its complex treatment.
I don't know of any LLMDs in your area, but I'm sure others will pm you with that information.
You might want to click on "Support Groups" in the upper left-hand corner of the Lymenet page, then "CT'.
Contact information will come up. Maybe they can help you.
