Hey guys, I'm looking for an LLMD for New York State, or New Jersey. I have late stage LYmes, and have been treated with doxycycline, but I don't feel any better. Every doctor I talk to tells me I'm crazy and there is no way I still have Lyme. Any help is sincerely appreciated.

Are you able to travel to MD? If so, there is a good LLMD there that can see you relatively soon, which is quite rare.

It's possible, but I want to see if there is anything closer to home first. I'd certainly take the name.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for CT.
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.
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.
