Have not had ANY luck asking around or thru doing research. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! Recently tested positive for Lyme but not sure that I haven't had it for a long time. I had the doctor test me during my regular physical/bloodwork b/c my husband and I had been working in the yard and were loaded with ticks. Both of us have been extremely lethargic for a couple of months. I'm experiencing vision and arthritic problems (particularly behind L knee). My husband seems to have a strong immune system (hardly ever gets sick), but even he's draggin' so there's something going on. I have had a good 10 years of CFS, Fibro and then Graves' Disease in 2000. I have an appointment with an infectious disease specialist in Glen Burnie on 9/24 but I don't think he's considered a LLMD. His assistant says he sees a lot of Lyme cases but if anyone has "chronic Lyme", he sends thme to UM or Hopkins (no specific referral). I've done a lot of research and, in addition to my current taking of Doxy 200 mg/day, I was going to start on the TCM protocol as I have a good acupuncturist (from China) who also works with Chinese herbs and see how that works for me. Other than that, I feel SCREWED!!
