Still looking for a LLMD in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan or Wisconsin. Also wondering if going to Mayo or Marshfield Clinics would be of any help. Been diagnosed now with dermatomyositis,before that polymyositis, Mixed connective tissue disease and undifferentiated tissue disease. Right now I am on prednisone to calm my high muscle inflammation. HELP Posted by hopingandpraying (Member # 9256) on :
I don't know of any in the UP.
PM sent for a good LLMD in northern WI (not upper peninsula of WI). I think I already gave you his name before. You will have to travel.
Have you contacted all the MI Lyme Support Groups I sent you, especially www.mlda.org? Here they are once more:
Steroids are contraindicated for Lyme, because they suppress the immune system and cause the disease to get worse. Read this link for a very good explanation:
Thank you very much. Just tired of going from one ologist to the next, more tests. They say it is an autoimmune issue. I am taking prednisone for my muscle inflammation that they cannot pin down the reason for it. It is a scary road going nowhere

Is Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin worth a try or are there no LLMDs there either?

I have not heard of Marshfield Clinic and am not aware of any LLMDs there. I did google the name and the reviews I read were not good ones.
The MI & WI Lyme Support Groups would know better about their states.
The LLMD in northern WI is a good one and has helped many get better. He would definitely be worth the trip, albeit long. Many Lyme patients do travel far to get the right treatment.
