I go to see a llmd today for the fist time and I am so nervous. What should I expect to happen during the appointment?

Just be prepared to feel understood and cared for possibly for the first time.
I still have warm feelings remembering my first visit to LLMD in 2006.
It was a 3 hour appointment and included a complete exam, much interest in every symptom, tests explained, and possible treatment plan.
I had to stay over night in a motel the night before, and remember being a little nervous, but it was such a wonderful feeling knowing that the next day I would be talking to someone who might be able to help and care.

- So, Casey,
After you settle back in, how did the appointment go?

it went really well. I do indeed have Lyme and several co infections. I am on several antibiotics, supplements, and will be getting b-12 injections daily. it was much easier than I expected and Marz was right for the first time I felt understood and cared for. Thanks for the support
