Hi,

I want to help a friend in Northern VT find an LLMD. N Upstate NY and N. NH is okay too.

Thank you,

James

PM sent for NH, ME & upstate NY.

Your friend needs 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. Your friend needs to go where they are.

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 your friend calls for an appointment, have him/her ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner by doing this.

Check the online state Lyme groups at:

Maybe they can help.

Some more resources for your friend (including Support Groups info):

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

Also have him/her read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check your local library or buy it used on Amazon.
