Trying to find a lyme doctor in or near the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I live in Copper Harbor which is right on the tip of the finger that sticks out into Lake Superior. Have been suffering with symptoms that doctors say is mixed connective tissue disease. Had to quit my job driving a big rig because I became to ill and weak to do it anymore.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent with some names for MI & WI.
I don't know of any in the UP of MI. Contact the MI Lyme Support Groups I have listed below. They would know better.
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!
They are far and few between, unfortunately. You need to go where they are.
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.
Btw - 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.
