I contracted lyme's 15 yrs ago. I currently have pcp, urologist, gyno, breast and pain management drs. Also seeking new cardiologist and neurologist.
My drs claim to be familiar w lyme's "know how terrible it is " etc. But they each address my complications ( list way too long to enter here) individually with no concern for lyme's.
I am not currently being treated for lyme's at all. Just for all it's effects. I continue to decline at alarming rate. It seems each new cat scan or other tests just keep finding new problems, tumors etc.
My pain managent dr is worst. He wants to diagnose me w different things each time. Auto immune, fibro, cfs, depression, possible food allergies etc. He took me off sleep meds because "he doesn't like them". My pain is so out of control and I currently have five different infections ( bladder, sinus, bronchitis, throat, kidney). Oh and skin as well
My immune system can't handle physical stress of going w out sleep and rising pain.
All the while I keep getting worse. Been hospitalized 3 or 4 times in last 9 mos. And no one will treat the underlying cause for all of it, LYME'S!!!!
This list of things wrong grows every few mos and I feel like I can not go on anymore. Any help with names of drs and any prayers would b appreciated more than I could ever describe.
Thank you.

In this case (Texas) it's best to contact people who LIVE THERE and know who is the best. There aren't any LLMDs there that I would recommend.
That's why I said to contact the support groups. They have names I don't.. I'm sure.
I am not in Texas right now. (darn!)
