Hi- I just found this board and hope someone can assist me. I have a brother (29 year old) who has been sick for about 6 years. He has headaches, fatigue, poor memory, and he can't concentrate. We have been to various MDs (neurologists, psychologists, psychartist) and no one can figure out what is wrong with him. He has been on various medications, from anti-depressents to anti-seizure medication in hopes that something will work (nothing has). I would like to have him tested for Lyme and would like to know where I can find a good MD. Any suggestions? Thank you for reading this. Linda

i'll send you a private message, pm, with my 35+ pages newbie links/advise about board .... read carefully the info there about having a:
western blot igm and igg blood test done by IGENEX, CALIF. ok ... do as it says ok!
your regular physician can order this test done. they can send you the TEST KIT for this! Dr. must sign, date, show DIAGNOSIS CODE,
IF your brother is diabled on MEDICARE, dr. must show medicare no. too.
have it done Mon. - Tues. afternoon since you're out on the EAST coast and it's going to Calif!
