Hi, I am new to this site but not new to Lyme.
I was officially diagnosed in December 2007 and in the treatment since.
My current LLMD just broke news to me he is leaving the practice (it's a group) and I got to find a new doctor.
Also, this year financially is going to be challenging for me to continue with treatment.
It would help if I can find a new doctor who is a bit more affordable than my current group.
Someone who takes insurance would be ideal but I realize that it may be unrealistic to find.
Thank you.

Hey there! There is only one LLMD in the MD/DC/VA area that takes insurance, and that LLMD is not taking new patients and does not have a waiting list.
Sorry.

welcome ov! check your profile above for my pm to you on MARYLAND llmds
please send me a private message, it's the 2 people standing together icon to right of you name, and give me the FULL NAME, CITY/STATE of the llmd you were seeing please.
i'm one of a handful who has nationwide llmds lists and we help folks. this way i can use it to update our list, and notify others of the deletion oF this llmd...BIG THANKS! HUGS/KISSES.
Welcome; i'm so glad you found us!! You've come to the right place for education and support!
Dr. Burrascano's most recent "Diagnostic Hints and 2008 Treatment Guidelines for Lyme and Other Tick Borne Illnesses" @
please go to my newbie links, copy the entire thing, and then print this off....FINANCIAL BURDENS compiled by melanie reber print off pages 74 - 92; outstanding info there. i believe there are a few more general comments there without links!! print that off too as it's newer info from members thru their own personal, tragic experiences.
Betty's suggested POSTING GUIDELINES . many of us have neuro lyme where we can NOT read long solid block text and be able to comprehend and read it as is.
please edit your post by CLICKING PAPER/PENCIL ICON to right of your name. that opens up BOTH subject line and body text.
now please break up your WORDY SENTENCES into one sentence paragraphs. Then hit ENTER KEY ``TWICE`` after each paragraph; we need that space for comprehension.
NOTE: you do NOT have to use " ", just show the name of person you are responding to, and then type your comment.
IF you need to use "", PLEASE DELETE "bold" codes so it's regular type text we read vs. the dark, harsh/painful bolding, delete the first 4 characters of 2ND LINE of a ""
[QB] just delete these 4 characters, and bolding is GONE! my eyes will really appreciate that; it's one very bad side effect of my having lyme for 38.5 years!! xox
then go to left hand corner and mark box to receive ALL REPLIES, and click EDIT SEND
we thank you for helping us; otherwise, we will SOB, SCROLL ON BY, since we can't read to help you. If I see posts like this, I SOB them; to hard on me. ------------------------------------------------------
People seeking doctors might be able to get help from their state online information and support group. Nearly 3,400 people belong to state groups. Some of the groups are small but more than 20 of them have 50 or more people and seven have over 100.
The groups are moderated and you have to apply. Most don't allow doctor names, but once on the group, you can ask for doctors in a certain area and ask people to email you privately. *******************************************

Thanks, lou. I guess you are talking about Dr.J. I've heard about him. My current dr thinks that Dr J still sees new patients. He must have just stopped taking them. I liked his blog though haven't read all of it.
