Are there any LLMD'S in Bellingham Washington?

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for WA.
I don't know of any in Bellingham.
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.
When calling for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner by doing this.
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. Check your local library or buy it used online.
These are simple e-mails formats that you fill out and they respond with LLMD’s closest to you. It is important to research each LLMD referral. To do this, google for patient reviews or join a Lyme support group. Lyme support groups have first-hand knowledge of LLMD’s in your area and members love to help one another.
