Supposedly there is no Lyme in AZ, but my daughter’s boyfriend, a landscaper, has many symptoms and has been going from doctor to doctor with no relief and is getting to a point where he may have to give up his business. Hoping to find a doctor ( or other practitioner, who might help him. Thanks for any help

If there’s no Lyme disease in Arizona, then there’s also no ticks, fleas, horseflies, mosquitoes, dust mites, etc.

This narrative of no Lyme disease in Arizona has been debunked since 2013.

You can request LLMD’s through Global Lyme Alliance here;

You can request LLMD’s through LivLyme Foundation here;
https://livlymefoundation.org/resources/doctors/

A really good resource for you is The Arizona Lyme Association.
They provide LLMD’s and Support Groups in your state.

It is important that you research each LLMD referral.
To do this, google for patient reviews or ask your local Lyme Support group.

I will send you a pm. Good luck to you 💚

I don't know of any. Check the Arizona Lyme Support Groups - maybe they can help. They would know better about AZ.
