Hi, I live in central CT. I have been sick for 13 years. The only diagnosis I've been given was Fibro in 2005, however it just doesn't fit.
I have tested negative 4 times. 3 regular and 1 igenex (2005).
My symptoms have become much worse in the recent months with neurological involvement.
If possible, please include pediatrician doctors too. I'm terrified I passed this on to my 4 yo with out knowing I had Lyme
Thank you so much for your help, you guys are providing invaluable info. I only wish I came across you a decade ago...

- I hope you get some specific names. In the meantime:
-----------------------------------
When considering herbal / nutritional / adjunct methods:
if at all possible - because each person & each case is different - it's best to consult with an ILADS-educated LL (lyme literate) doctor who has completed four years of post-graduate medical education in the field of herbal and nutritional medicine -
- and someone who is current with ILADS' research & presentations, past and present.
Many LL NDs incorporate antibiotics (depending upon the licensing laws in their state). Some LLMDs and LL NDs have good working relationships.
When possible, it's great to have both a LLMD and LL ND and even better when they have a long-standing professional relationship.
Integrative / Holistic M.D., etc. (Be aware that those in this category can have various levels of formal herbal &/or nutritional education, perhaps even just a short course. Do ask first.)
Links to many articles and books by holistic-minded LL doctors of various degrees who all have this basic approach in common:
Understanding of the importance of addressing the infection(s) fully head-on with specific measures from all corners of medicine;
knowing which supplements have direct impact, which are only support and which are both.
You can compare and contrast many approaches.
BASIC HERBAL EDUCATIONAL & SAFETY links,
BODY WORK links with safety tailored to lyme patients,
Includes a symptom check-list; articles; consideration of differential diagnoses. -
