I would go to the searching for a dr section and post this. There is a dr that is doing great research on this but he studies cadavars. lmt

I don't mean to sound judgmental, just curios.

You mention that this woman has Lyme.

Why doesn't she bring her husband to her doctor for testing?

she is not lyme literate, i am in the processing of trying to show her how to go about it.

she saw a ID doc who used abx on her for 6 months and then refused to further treat her..

she doesnt understand the scope of what she is dealing with because she is functional, just has some minor symptoms she deals with (like a lot of lymies)

youre not being judgemental, just rude [Smile]

now, can someone recommend a dr?
