Would appreciate recommendations for Lyme literate MDs and NDs in Washington State (open to Oregon as well). I am looking into Dr. Klinghardt's Sophia Institute. I have many neurological symptoms and have seen 6 neurologists in Seattle and was denied by the Mayo Clinic. I have started IVIG treatment for what is turning out to be some kind of autoimmune autonomic failure started by the Lyme, but no neurologists here seem to be Lyme literate.
Any recommendations are appreciated. I need someone that can work through a web of very complex symptoms.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for WA.
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 "How Can I Get Better?". They are an excellent source of information.
Also read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check your local library or buy it used on Amazon.
