Hi. Live in TX but need to find a good LLMD in my area of possible. I fight multiple co-infections, viruses, and stubborn case of long term prostatis. I need someone that can at least help me have some quality of life. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for TX & 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.
Read the books written by the top LLMD, Dr. H, titled, "Why Can't I Get Better?" and his new one, "How Can I Get Better?". They are an excellent source of information.
Also read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Get it at your local library or buy it used on Amazon.
Hi. Thank you for responding. I just sent Dr. S an email and will follow up in the morning. My only concern is that the web site says he isn't accepting new patients after July 16th.
Stay tuned. Peazy

I sent you some names.
Welcome to LymeNet! I'm glad you haven't given up.
This is what I have learned in over 14 years in the lyme world--the doc is the key. Can't emphasize that enough. The doc is the key to getting rid of this horrendous disease.
Many doctors treat lyme diease, but only a FEW know enough to get rid of it for a person. Your job is to find one of those few.
I know a few of them here in the eastern U.S.
If you can possibly get yourself to a top doc, that is what you want to do. It gets you the best chance to get rid of this horrendous disease.
You may want to read my post "What Makes a Doc Top Notch." LymeNet decided it was so good that they put it near the top of Medical Questions permanently under "Important Info About LYme and Cos.".
So, get yourself a top doc and then let us know how it goes! We are all rooting for you!!!!
p.s. I know prostatitis is very difficult to get rid of, but hopefully good lyme and coinfection treatment is going to boost your immune system and do it for you.
I also strongly suggest you read and STUDY the Burrascano Lyme Treatment Guidelines found here:
There is no substitute for an educated patient when it comes to these diseases.
Burrascano's required exercise program (page 31) will boost your immune system so that you will not relapse. It is 1 continuous hour of weightlifting every OTHER day, a full body workout each time.
That is what did it for me.

Hey peazy in Texas where everything is bigger, including your Lyme situation it appears! So sorry to hear that! Hope you are feeling better soon.
If you go to www.MarylandLyme.org and look at the menu to your left you will see "DOCTOR REFERRALS".
Click there to find the names and contact information for health care professionals treating Lyme & TBD's in your state (or any state). You may want to review options in states near-by also.
There is also a page with support group information, one for alternative medical professionals, educational conferences across the country, labs and their contact information, one for mental health providers, MTHFR and Morgellons providers.
There is also a list of TBD with how to diagnose (testing), a list of symptoms for each disease and treatment info with links to the treatment guidelines.
