Hi all! I am new to posting, please forgive any transgressions!
I need to find an LLMD, preferably on Long Island, but a great integrative LLMD anywhere in the tri-state area would be greatly appreciated!
I would also love any referrals to LLND's in the same area!
I have late stage neurologic Lyme, Babesia and Bartonella.
Despite fairly aggressive and lengthy treatment by an LLMD closer (not close!) to where I currently live, I am worse than ever, and that now equals bedridden and suffering severe cognitive impairments.
It appears that my best option is a temporary move back to Long Island. I have a needed support system there, along with much better Lyme-informed health practitioners in general.
Thank you, and I apologize for the lengthy post!

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for LLMDs/LLNDs in CT.
So sorry you are going through this. Your post was written well - no "transgressions"! I think moving where you have a good support system is key to getting 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!
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.
