I just moved to Houston and am looking for a LLMD here. No current symptoms for me, but would like to know who to see. I'm also wondering about one of my kids who may be showing some symptoms so if there is anyone working with pediatrics, even better. Thanks!

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for TX.
You & your child 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!
They are far and few between, unfortunately. You need to go where they are. I don't know of any in Houston.
Also, 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 calling for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner to see a LLMD by doing this. Also ask if these LLMDs see children.
