Well, I went to my 2nd DR. today. He basically thinks I am crazy and says that Lyme is not in the area I live.

I can't find anyone to diagnose me. I had 2 (-) titers but, have all the symptoms of Lyme's.

This doctor told me that a little knowledge is dangerous. He had to pull out a Medical dictionary to look up the symptoms of Lyme.

I am currently trying to get an appt. with an LLMD.

I am so frustrated. It seems that no one (doctor) will believe because I have so many different symptoms. [confused]

I relate and have been there, too. I ended up finding a great LLMD in my own state. That was a prayer answered. Keep looking, if you need help post on the seeking a doctor board. The people here are wonderful and will assist you.

Just don't give up until you find an LLMD and then get to him/her quick as you can. If you know in your heart your right and your duck is wrong then don't give up...listen to your body.

Good luck and God bless.

He's right!! HIS "little bit of knowledge" is VERY dangerous for his patients!!!

If you need more help with drs' names, let me know. [Smile]

This happens to every Lyme patient.

By the way...KNOWLEDGE is power. Just that fact he would say that lets you know how awful he is. Doctors like him should have there license yanked. [cussing]
