There are not many LLMD'S in your area and you may have to travel. Start a folder with everything concerning your medical conditions. This can save you money. Include all medical procedures done, blood tests, mri's, prescription meds, daily symptom log, all medical practitioners seen, all test results, ect.
Get your financial affairs in order. Many LLMD'S don't participate in insurances so Lyme can be expensive to treat.
I will send you a private message. Keep us posted on your progress. Wishing you better health.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for MO.
You need to be evaluated and treated by a 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 the local library or buy it used on Amazon.
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:
