I have chronic lyme and need to find a lyme literate doctor in Boston or Massachusetts (or surrounding states). Any help is so appreciated!
Warmly, Jesse

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for MA & 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.
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":
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 Hoping and Praying, could you please send me the same information re: LLMDs in MA and CT? Thanks so much.

KB69 - Welcome to Lymenet!
You should write a new post instead of adding on to an existing one, because most people don't re-read old posts.
That way, more will see it and respond.

Btw - I know you are new to Lymenet, but you should not use your real name, because this is a public forum with all sorts of people on it. Read this link about it:
