Thanks in advance....(and you can e-mail me privately, if you want...)
 

I have been seeing Dr. J in Vegas since October 04. I contracted lyme in July 04. I went to Dr. J after interviewing two other LLMD's in both Boston and NC. Dr. j has seen over 6000 lyme patients and has been the field for many years. My health has been very up and down. I finally convinced Dr. J to have me diagnosed for co-iinfections, and i have Babesia. Started Mepron in January.

Dr. J has 20 years experience with lyme, and came recommended (check with his administrator, Rene, at [email protected]). She is the person to contact for a recommendation.

Right now I am not sure of the results of my treatment under Dr. J, as I am still sick (much harder to cure when you have babs and lyme). In my phone conversation with Dr. J today he said that maybe I should get a second opinion. This surprised me. At least he is being honest that babs is hard to treat, but he thinks that the course i am on is a good one. on the other hand, perhaps there is a more experienced doc with babs.

That said, if you just have lyme dr. j is probably a good choice. Insist on coinfection testing if you haven't already done so. I decided to see him because i could drive to vegas, and he is the closest LLMD to me.

I am planning on getting a second opinion from another Dr. J in NC. Can't get an appointment until July, and only with a nurse practioner.

I don't know if I helped you. As I said, the jury is still out for me. contact Rene for more info.
