Hi guys, I haven't been here for awhile but Im back lol
Just found out this morning my LLMD (Dr F in Charlottesville) is retiring. I am DEVESTATED to say the least. I have been seeing him since 2010 and credit him with keeping me at the very least out of a wheelchair and at most dead.
I am at a total loss on which way to turn.
I have lyme, babasia and bartonella.
To add insult to injury I came down with Covid on the 11th of this month (after already having it previously), strugglling with breathing problems now and also diagnosed with breast cancer end of Nov. I have seen 2 surgeons locally and waiting to get into UVA for another consult.
To say the least I am "all over the place" right now.
I have spent over 2 1/2 hrs trying to find LLMD doctors online.. There doesn't look like any active support groups in my area at all AND I could never get past the initial registration page of ILADS to search for physicians.
I am in Central Va but could be willing to travel a few hours for "right" Dr.
ANY help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, it is very difficult to lose a good LLMD, considering they are far and few between to begin with! You certainly have a lot to deal with!
Very sorry to hear about your struggles. Losing such a knowledgeable Lyme doc is truly heartbreaking. Please know we are all sending healing wishes your way.
