My niece is getting sicker and sicker and is now willing to consider Lyme disease as the cause of her multitude of symptoms.
I am in Ohio as is my Lyme doctor.
My niece is on disability.
Can anyone recommend a NY doctor? I personally would prefer an ILADS doc but she may need to start somewhere cheaper or with someone who takes insurance.
Are there any local support groups for her that you know of?
Thanks for your help!

You can check the New York lyme support groups. Just click on Support Groups on the left side of the page.
I also checked the ones in Massachusetts and found this one near her:
Call as many as you can and ask for a lyme friendly doctor--meaning one who has a regular medical practice but knows something about lyme. These are the docs who still take insurance and can help a potential lyme patient with testing. So, they can be sufficient when starting out.
