Hi --

My aunt is on her way to the ER at Penn with horrible back pain, burning all over her body, and terrible stomach pain.

She is being treated my an LLMD,but not really seeing any improvement. This is her fourth trip to an ER in a few months!

I was hoping I may be able to get a name of a doc that practices there that could assess her.

Thank you so much! This is very scary.

You won't find any lyme literate MD's at hospitals. Sorry.

Do you need names of LLMD's in PA?

Maybe she has something on top of the Lyme??

Lymetoo -

She's been tested for everything. She is worried it's something more, but every test comes back fine.

Thanks for your reply. She's got an LLMD in NJ, but thanks.

Is she being treated for bartonella? Many say that bart causes GI problems.

True, if it's lyme she won't get any help there.
