I am in desperate need of a good llmd with a lot of knowledge in co-infections and treats aggressively. I need to go and have a full work up first after last week I got a bull eye 3-4" round. no sign of tick but it certainly looks like a Lyme bull's-eye and I need to start my research immediately to try to get this early if this is new however most likely I have already been infected because so many people who have been working on the property have become ill with lyme. and most likely I have already been bitten since the dear are every where here. I know there is a few around I just ned to find them and I could use someones help. lymeman55 because of how sensitive this information is you can call me if you prefer. just let me know if you want my number.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for MA & CT.

The bull's-eye rash is definitive for Lyme. You need to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease and its complex treatment!

They are far and few between, unfortunately. You need to go where they are.

Also, most LLMDs do not accept insurance due to the politics surrounding this horrible disease. Read poster TF's explanation, "Why Lyme Doctors Don't Take Insurance":

http://flash.lymenet.org/scripts/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/2/15615?#000005

When calling for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner by doing this.

Check the online state Lyme groups at:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/massachusettslyme

Maybe they can help.

Some more resources for you (including Support Groups info):
www.lyme-aware.org/massachusetts.html

The top LLMD, Dr. H, has written a new book entitled, "Why Can't I Get Better?". It is an excellent source of information.

Also read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check your local library or buy it used on Amazon.

View "Under Our Skin" for free on www.hulu.com

Btw- please break up your posts into 2-3 sentence paragraphs, as there are people on Lymenet who cannot read large blocks of text due to neurological problems from Lyme. Thanks.
