Will travel anywhere within Ontario. Boyfriend and I have Lyme and co infections and no insurance. Local doctors refuse to help. To travel to the u.s and get prescriptions written out-of-province will cost us over $2000 a month for treatment, we are so ill we are barely able to work as it is and afford to live. Please help.
Saw an ND in Ottawa but she cannot prescribe antibiotics, we need an MD

I suggest you contact the lyme support groups in Canada that are near you. See "Support Groups" on the left side of this page.

I am under the impression that you won't get help in Canada and that there really aren't any lyme doctors in Canada because the Canadian health system doesn't permit any doctors to treat lyme properly.

So, after you talk to the Ontario support group and some others, you may find out that you HAVE to travel to the U.S. I hope not, but if you do, here is a website that you should look at:

Welcome to Lymenet!

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.

This is a link for them:

I don't know of any LLMDs in Canada, as I was told the climate there is very bad for Lyme treatment.

Check the Canadian Lyme Group at:
www.canlyme.com

Here is a website I found entitled, "The Lyme Maze - Navigating Lyme Disease in Canada":

http://thelymemaze.blogspot.com/p/igenex-lab.html

Also a good resource for Canadians with Lyme:

Some additional resources for you to study:

Read the book written by Dr. H, the top Lyme-literate doctor, entitled, "Why Can't I Get Better?". It is an excellent source of information.

Also "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.
