Please help! I'm seeking a doctor in Ohio for myself. I have been bitten multiple times and had multiple bullseye rashes, the first one stemming back 21 years ago. I am finding it difficult to even get proper testing because I have had a negative on the ELISA in 2011 and everyone just thinks I'm completely crazy at this point. I'm rapidly deteriorating at this point and loosing the ability to advocate for myself. Thank you for your help.

There should be some in Ohio. I was born and raised a Buckeye. Moved from Columbus to Louisville in 1970. Still have family in many parts of OH.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for OH.
A bulls'-eye rash is definitive for Lyme and the ELISA test is very unreliable. You need to be tested through IGENEX Labs in Palo Alto, CA.
You need to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease and its complex treatment!
Please break up your posts into 2-3 sentence paragraphs, as there are people on Lymenet who cannot read large blocks of text due to neurological problems from Lyme. Thanks.
