Opinions?

Daughters major symptoms are intense pain and neuro

Sick since 2000. Treatment by highly respected LLMD since 2/08 w/ no improvement.

First appointment $1275 plus $1500 - $3000 labs.

Follow up appts $600 - $800 nplus labs.

Is this normal and acceptable?

He IS expensive. That's all I know. Have you tried Dr H or Dr R?

I've heard he is very good, he's fairly local to me, about 45 minutes south, but I see Dr. C in Mt. Kisco NY, they're all expensive.

Well, first, I am sorry to hear about your daughter. I can really understand how you feel. Nothing is worse than watching our kids suffer.

Dr. L. is incredibly expensive.

Have you thought about taking her to Dr. J in CT?? He is WONDERFUL and not nearly as expensive.

Thanks for the advice.

I have PM'd all who had suggestions looking for contact info for these docs.

I guess I will see who has the first available appointment.

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. N has late stage neuro lyme. She can no longer care for herself, bedridden, and her pain in so intense she can not stand it anymore.

I take my daughter to see Dr. L, he is a brilliant LLMD...we have seen many.

You need to factor in that the first appt. is 3-4 hours long...again $400/hour....which seems to be the going rate for most LLMDs. It s a very through evaluation, no stone left unturned.

The saying "You get what you pay for" applies 100% in our experience with LLMDs.

PM me if you'd like more info, or any questions answered.

Out of state prices may be different, or work differently, I don't know. I live in NY.
