Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for MD. You need to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment! A LLMD is one who has treated Lyme disease and the co-infections which come with it for many years and has gotten patients well. A good one will follow Dr. B's Guidelines, the "gold standard" for Lyme treatment. Here is a link for them:http://www.lymenet.org/BurrGuide200810.pdf Unfortunately, LLMDs are far and few between. 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?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=025539;p=0 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:https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MarylandLyme/info Maybe they can help. Some more resources for you (including Support Groups info):www.lyme-aware.org/maryland.html http://www.lymenet.org/SupportGroups/UnitedStates/Mryland/ The top LLMD, Dr. H, has written a book entitled, "Why Can't I Get Better?". It is an excellent source of information. Read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Get it at your local library or buy it used on Amazon. View "Under Our Skin" for free on www.hulu.com
