I am 31 and looking for consultation with a LLMD. I am in the Upper Peninsula so northern MI or WI locations would be closer. Thank you so much!

contact Linda there...
be prepared for a waiting list perhaps 6 weeks, ask for a cancelation filling and You may get in sooner.. few and FAR between.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for MI & WI.

You need to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!

Most LLMDs do not accept insurance due to the politics surrounding this horrible disease. Read poster TF's explanation, "Why Lyme Doctors Don't Take Insurance":

When you call for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in earlier by doing this.

Check the online state Lyme groups at:

Maybe they can help.

The top LLMD, Dr. H, has written a new book entitled, "Why Can't I Get Better?". It is an excellent source of information.

Read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Get it at your local library or buy it used on Amazon.
