I am being treated by out of state practitioner, integrative but had 4 cycles of 3 abx, plus some other stuff, don't want to give too much detail here, but I am in a lot of pain and on a two-week break from treatment because of the burning pain per their suggestion and very confused. Looking for an extremely knowledgeable doctor with lime and co-infections, would like in Michigan but I don't think there are any and willing to travel some. Thank you!

Welcome to Lymenet Katbiz
Is the Integrative Doc you are seeing an ILADS trained LLMD?
LLMD’s that are ILADS trained (International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society) generally follow the treatment guidelines by world renowned Dr Joseph Burrascano; http://lymenet.org/BurrGuide200810.pdf*
These are simple e-mail formats that you fill out and they contact you with LLMD’s in your area.LLMD’s
It’s important that you research all LLMD’s referers as to how they treat Lyme and co-infections. To do this google for patient reviews. Also join your area’s Lyme support group(s) for first-hand patient experiences with your area’s LLMD’s.
Please utilize Lymenet’s ‘search’ function located in middle of home page. It contain invaluable info on all things Lyme related. Or if you have any questions, feel free to post in open forum and a Lymenet member will answer with their experience and hard taught knowledge. We are all in this together.
I will send you a private message. Healing wishes

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.
Read the books written by the top LLMD, Dr. H, titled, "Why Can't I Get Better?" and "How Can I Get Better?". They are an excellent source of information.
Also read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Get it at your local library or buy them used online.
