I live in Ilinois, and I'm looking for an LLMD. I am aware of one in Missouri, but he is not taking new patients until October . Thank you for any help you can give me. Terri

He is the only one in MO .. Get on his waiting list since you are close and could make the appointment on short notice.
You can usually get in many months earlier if you are persistent.
He is the best!

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for MO & IN.
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.
Unfortunately, LLMDs are far and few between. You need 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":
