Hello,

Looking for LLMD that follows ILAD guidelines in either Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, or Florida please.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!!

PM sent for MD.

I think you need to be treated by an experienced, seasoned LLMD who has a good track record.

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.

Here is a link for them:

LLMDs are far and few between, unfortunately. You need to go where they are. I don't know of any in AL or MS.

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":

Please read the following about LLMDs and Texas which was recently posted about TX:

"Texas is not a great place to find a good Lyme doctor. Texas threatens its Lyme doctors and gets them to move or stop practicing without notice.

Then, if they start up again a year or so later, they do it to them again. So, there really are few Lyme doctors there and no top notch ones.

Because of the sorry state of affairs in Texas, at least half of all Lyme patients travel out of state for their care."

Look at the following thread to see a discussion about TX. Read what other Texans wrote in this thread about trying to get proper care in Texas:

Check the online state Lyme groups at:

**Note: write in the state you are looking for in StateName"

Maybe they can help.

The top LLMD, Dr. H, has written a book entitled, "Why Can't I Get Better?". It is an excellent source of information.

Read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Get it at your local library or buy it used on Amazon.
