i've had some new symptoms start. i saw my LLMD yesterday. she has me starting back on antibiotics.
i'm headed back to my primary care MD for my annual physical (the timing is a coincidence- i've had this appt. scheduled for 3 months).
last year when i saw her, she was open to lyme...stated she didn't know enough one way or another to make a call...i appreciated her honesty.
i left her w/ a copy of Under Our Skin...she said she planned to watch it and share w/ one of her MD colleagues.
well, in heading back tomorrow, i'd like to bring her some more info about lyme, the controversy, misdiagnosis, connection to MS, etc......
specific research articles and websites would be nice.
know of any?

ILADS www.ilads.org This is the organization most LLMDs belong to, and there is a lot of research and information on their site. They also have a physician training program.
CALDA http://www.lymedisease.org/resources/handouts.html The last 2 handouts listed on the right are quotes from a lot of different research studies that were useful to print out and give to my doctor.
Cure Unknown by Pamela Weintraub (book that explains the scientific and political history of Lyme and also chronicles the struggles of two families with Lyme. It is well written, suspenseful and readable for nonmedical people too. It does an excellent job of covering the controversy, reasons for it and problems that result from it.)
