Hello I am seeking a Lyme Dr in MA. I was treated by Dr Sam Donta for many years and used to be the contact person in Boston for Lyme resources a few years back. Used to post here then.I have a coworker who has been sick for several months Her symptoms seem very Lyme like. Her Dr ruled that out based solely on a negative Elisa test.No matter how they treat her symptoms ie with steroids. Never was prescribed antibiotics.There is no relief. She has had a severe headache for months that hasnt gone away fatigue and severe temple pain and other symptoms. She had to take a leave from work.She is so sick. She really needs a proper evaluation. Thank you so much in advance.

PM sent for MA.
Btw - please break up your posts into 2-3 sentence paragraphs, as there are people on Lymenet who cannot read large blocks of text due to neurological problems from Lyme.
