We need a LLMD anywhere around us. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am not tested yet, my mom has been and is positive.
Any help is much appreciated, Donna anne

Hello- No,I am not a youngster.
I am 46 and my mom 77 yrs old.
She has probably been infected for a number of years, but knows for sure she was bit a few years back and again last year.
I remember having the rash when I was a teenager, and suspect I could have Lyme from a multitude of assorted symptoms over the years.
My Mom can't read her test results and I havent seen them yet, so I dont know which test was given.
She was given Doxycyline and was on something else last year. I encouraged her to be retested as her fatigue is very intense. This last test of a week or so ago is the one I havent seen yet....
I also do not know yet which lab was used.
I have been able to read two good Lyme books this week by Buhner and Dr. Singleton.
Thanks Everyone, Donna anne
