I am looking for a doctor that would serve the W. Tennessee area. I had a lyme test and failed it, but I did have a rash. The nurse gave me a couple of weeks worth of antibiotics to take. That was a couple of years ago. I am having some strange things going on and I have been doing some reading online. I think that I may have a lyme problem and need to find a doctor to test me. I appreciate any help you can give me.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for VA, MO & NC.
You need to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!
The bull's eye rash is definitive for Lyme.
No LLMDs in TN, GA, AL or SC - they are far and few between, unfortunately! You need to go where they are.
Most LLMDs do not take insurance due to the politics surrounding this disease. Read poster TF's explanation about this:
Btw - please break up your posts into 2-3 sentence paragraphs, as there are people on Lymenet who cannot read large blocks of text due to neurological problems from Lyme. Thanks.

Thank you so much for your fast response!
I have already ordered the book "Why Can't I Get Better".
I also have the dvd of "Under our Skin".
I will be watching for the information on the doctors.
We need a good doctor in Tennessee. There are several people ( I don't know their location) in Tennessee that has Lyme.

Yes, you DO need a few LLMD's there. We get requests all the time.
I'll send you some info.
