I need a LLMD near Metairie, Louisiana. We live in Pennsylvania. My daughter moved to Metairie, Louisiana. Our whole family has been diagnosed with lyme disease in the past. My daughter never has been diagnosed but we have thought there was a possiblility she had it. She is now having breathing problems that come and go. She saw a heart specialist and they didn't find anything. She is on her way tomorrow to see a pulmonologist and if nothing is found there, she is going to an allergy specialist. She doesn't have any money to pay for all this but doesn't know what else to do. The urgent care doctor on the weekend gave her an inhaler but the cardiologist told her to stop using it because sometimes they can aggravate the problem. If the inhalers are a steroid, will a lyme test show whether she has lyme or not?

Well, she has to breathe. In an emergency, a steroid inhaler can save her life.
But the steroid could make her worse if she has Lyme.
