I was treated successfully for Lyme with IV antibiotics 8 years ago in FL by Dr. C. Now I'm living in Denver, CO and my Lyme symptoms are back with vengeance. Can someone recommend a Lyme doc in the Denver or greater CO area?

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for CO & MD.
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.
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":
I was told doctors in CO do not treat aggressively enough, because CO is extremely tough on any doctor who does. The medical board is relentless on them. Posters on Lymenet from CO recommend going out-of-state to see a LLMD.
At least half of all Lyme patients travel out of state for their care. The doctor is the key to the diagnosis and for getting rid of this horrendous disease.
