Topic: Introduction and seeking LLMD in Southern NJ....

I am a regular poster on a Fibromyalgia

messageboard, but our Lyme messageboard is quite

"inactive" so I came here to introduce myself. I

am 30 years old, live in South Jersey in one of

the most tick infested areas. I have been bitten

more times than I have fingers, toes and honestly

I gave up going to the doctor each time and docs

in our area often will not appoint unless you

have a huge bull's eye to accompany the bite....so

I have been diagnosed for fibromyalgia for 7

years and probable MS 5 years ago.

The last time docs tested me for Lyme was 5 years

ago and I had positve bands, but was 1 short of a

CDC diagnosis so it was deemed negative for Lyme.

So I moved on.....yet I continue to get sicker

and continue to search for answers and I am now

aware that a LLMD would test using different tests

and criteria, and I indeed have a positive

medical history for Lyme. I continue to get sicker

despite the many meds I take and I really want

this investigated by a doc who is truly literate

in Lyme. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Now....I am rambling. I hope this board becomes a

source of support for me. I am happy to support

all of you in your journey to better health (if I

am able) and grateful to meet people who

understand the frustration.

Thank you and hello to all.
