I'm in search of the most knowledge LLMD in southern NJ or PA. I've been to numerous DR's who don't have a clue. My heath have been going down hill. Need to see someone asap. Thank you for the Help.

There are lyme doctors in the area you have named, but I don't recommend any of them.
To get a good lyme specialist, you will have to be willing to travel.
At least half of all lyme patients go out of state for their care. Many fly.
If you are willing to travel to the Baltimore area, I can give you some names. Let me know.

You can also contact the lyme support groups in your state and surrounding states for names of doctors. Just click on Support Groups on the left side of the page.
Because you can spend a lot of money on a lyme specialist, I suggest you do a lot of checking on the doctors you are considering before putting out the big money.
Check with many support groups, ask here for opinions, etc. (On the public board, you can only use the first letter of the doctor's last name plus the state he/she is in.)
To get your education on this disease (which is really many diseases), I suggest you read and study the Dr. Burrascano LYme Treatment Guidelines found here:
This document will tell you what good lyme treatment looks like.
I had lyme for 10 years before any doctor thought to test me for it. Still, by finding a lyme specialist who followed the Burrascano Guidelines, I got well. That was 9 years ago now, and I am still symptom free, enjoying my life.
So, I recommend to everyone that they only go to a lyme specialist who follows the Burrascano Guidelines.
I have 5 friends who have also been cured of lyme by going to doctors who follow this protocol.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for PA & MD.
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!
