I only got 2 treatments 1 for doxy 2 weeks & I Have chronic Lyme with co-infections I am sure. Never tested for. Have all symptoms of 3 least.
My Lyme tests positive cross the board yrs. back now neg. last time. I did get 5 weeks pic Line just as started to herx. Was stop treatment to afraid to give me anymore. Now stop even taking Lyme people only will take AIDS.
Have no 1 but 1 doc. not close but he got ill, stopped taking pts.
So many stories Drs. losing licence. Or court.
My Dr. was even afraid to use word.
Last time spoke about how cannabis can help us. I was shocked he is so straight.
If out there & can help why not some states legalized.
I am so ill up all night with RLS that so bad can`t explain always had not like this. Plus the pain,so sick,nauseated. [rant]

How can people let humans suffer like this, not complaining just being honest.
I make the best I can of each day,realizing this now is my life. [Wink]

I work hard for next generation though, save the growing epidemic of Lyme. I may be ****ed though if make to 80 then help us, be ****ed can`t do all things want to do RIGHT now.... [bonk]

Huggggsssss, TO ALL You in NEED [group hug]

There are many options for doctors in FL who will treat Lyme. I can help if you need names.

Or you can order doxy online.

PS .. if you are taking tricyclic antidepressants, they will make RLS worse.

Hi Lymetoo, How are you?
Having puter typing problems,sorry if mess.
I do not take antidepressants, neurontin did help but ran it`s coarse.
Most Dr.s are not on my insurance plan on anywhere I live, drive only close to home, pick up meds. etc. No 1 to help need to get out today, not sure if can & close.
I know the 1 dr. C. he stopped taking new pts. res do holistic tried did not work.
After 18 yrs. got pic line, he would not go any further. Only Dr give me line & on5th week started to really herx bad, tossed cookies long time. UCK!! But just when got to work took off all meds.
Been guinea pig often though, no real treatment.
Hugggggssss, To all in Need. Kerry

Sadly, those who take insurance are not always the best LLMDs. It ties their hands too much.

It's really hard to find good doctors in the south. I lived there for a few years.

I have tried an herb called kratom for pain & it works quite well. It's not for everyone but I thought it was quite good.

Good luck!
