I just had a bullseye type bugbite appear on my arm after camping and being outside quite a bit the last couple weeks. I wanted to get it checked to see if it is lymes. After a little google searching I was concerned not all primary care physicians might be well versed in diagnosis vis looking at the rash. I am looking for a recommendation of minneapolis/st. paul area doctors to see for the diagnosis while this rash is still visible on my arm, hopefully today. Thanks for having this site!

Sent for St. Paul. She is booking into October now. If you call beg to be seen. Take a picture of the rash. Still your primary should be able to get you started on doxy to cover your time until seeing Dr. O.
You may benefit from changing your post title to the state you are looking for.

You have about a month's time to stop a beginning infection - you need to get covered with an adequate amount of doxycycline now.
It would be a very good idea to be completely protected with tick repellent - on clothes, skin, outdoor pets, gear.

NOONE should ever have to worry about getting abx!! how awful that people are suffering and dying because drs. would rather prescribe anti anxiety and all kinds of mood altering narcotics than to give a sick person abx..for anyone who desires, doxy and other quality abx can be purchased online without rx anytime from magicpharma.com, quality-rx.com, 4rx.com..there are other sites however i can only personally vouch for the quality of those 3. the same sensible (pre) cautions should be used as when taking abx from your dr.
