I live in the Cincinnati area and have tested positive for Lyme after 14 years of misdiagnoses. I have a holistic DO that recommends a whole list of alternative treatments that will cost between $15-20,000 with no specific guarantee. My health is so declined that I haven't worked much in 2 years so I can't afford that route. He did give me a script for 30 day doxycycline but told me to find a LLMD. I started taking the doxycycline yesterday because I know from experience that it will make me feel better but I need a doc quick. I know of a doctor in PA. Has anyone been to him and can you recommend him? I would prefer someone closer but "have Lyme will travel". Thank you.

Please go to the pencil/pad icon to the right of your name and edit the Drs. name you posted, we don't use Drs. names on the open forum--only by private messages.
Please use only the last name initial. And, go to "Seeking a Dr." page and read the 2nd one down---New Members! Please read regarding posting! This will explain some rules. Thank you.

Summerzen, if you'd like to ask someone about a particular Dr. go to "Seeking a Dr" and post something like "Feedback on Dr. S. in PA". And, others should reply.
and WELCOME to our lyme site. We're glad you came to us for help.

Also, check out our great "Medical Questions" forum where you can ask all the questions you might have and our wonderful, knowledgeable members will answer them. Just read some of the threads and you'll see just how informative they are!

Welcome! I'm also in the Cincinnati area. No one here who treats Lyme aggressively with abx. I flew to NY for treatment.
BTW, as Siciliano said, we don't use doctor's names on the board. I edited your post. Please look over the post at the top of the medical forum which explains why we don't use doc's names.
