Hi,I have lyme disease and my LLMD is in NY. He wants me to start Rocephin, but I am staying here in Pittsburgh (Robinson twp) and I need to find a doctor who checks my PICC line monthly and does blood work every two weeks.
I also need to find a nursing agency for weekly dressing changes.
(I have no insurance)
I would appreciate any information.

hope, what I did for a while is went to a free clinic close to my house, they changed the dressings for me and I'm sure they can check the dressing and write out a note for the doctor.

There are tons of free clinics by me I just chose one and called and they agreed to do it.

I don't have any suggestions for the blood work.
