After a year of incorrect diagnosis my wife has been diagnosed with lyme. Also, we have myself and a 16 month old daughter who will now be doing blood work. Please advise on LLMD!
Thanks

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent FL.
Your wife 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!
A LLMD is one who has treated Lyme disease and the co-infections which come with it for many years and has gotten patients well. A good one will follow Dr. B's Guidelines, the "gold standard" for Lyme treatment.
Unfortunately, LLMDs are far and few between. She needs 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":
The top LLMD, Dr. H, has written a book entitled, "Why Can't I Get Better?". It is an excellent source of information.
Also read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check your local library or buy it used on Amazon.

Anyone know of this fabled Sarasota Wellness Center I have seen mention of here that offers Rife therapy? Name or phone #

www.FloridaLyme.org has a Doctor Referral page. You can find the page listed in the left hand menu. Perhaps your center is listed there? Good luck!
