I need to find a primary care doc or ID doc in maryland who will understand lyme, or at least is willing to respect the fact I am doing long term abx and treat me when I have other illnesses.
anyone?

We don't maintain lists of PCP's. Contacting Support Groups in your area may be your best bet to find out what local docs the members are using.

Try joining your on-line state support group. There are members who can tell you about doctors in your area. For instructions on finding your state group go to:

jen, i would NOT see an infectious dr! they UNDERTREAT UP TO 3 WKS. MAX ANTIBIOTICS, and do NOT believe in chronic lyme!

please use marian's suggestions unless someone from your state stops by and helps you out; we hope [Smile]

good luck to you [group hug]
