Topic: LLMD advise needed

I was diagnosed in June and have yet to see an LLMD.

I do see a Lyme friendly doc that most people in my area go to but I'm beginning to wonder if this is the best. This doc is very receptive to my suggestions but I mostly just feel "rushed" when I see her and she seems to be all over the map as far as her treatment recommendations.

Unfortunately I am in Texas where most docs don't know much.

I am considering going to LLMD and I don't really care where they are as long as they are 1. established and highly recommended with high cure rate 2. Don't rush me in and out...will take the time to understand my case and 3. Hopefully take insurance.

Can any of you PM me if you have a recommendation. I'll fly anywhere to get treatment that will rid me of this awful crap.

Hey TX..

Have you posted this over in "Seeking a Doctor" section? Might have better luck there.

Also may not want to be so restrictive in your requirements to make your quest a bit easier.

For example- a LLMD isn't able to guarantee a "high cure rate".
