If anyone has any feedback on Dr M in WI and Dr M in CA, I would greatly appreciate it. I was just diagnosed with Lyme a few weeks ago by a DR N here in CO, but not sure my hubby and I are on the same page with regards to his treatment. Both Dr M's were recommended to me by family or a friend. Thanks.

Welcome to Lymenet!

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!

They are far and few between, unfortunately. You need to go where they are.

Most LLMDs do not accept insurance due to the politics surrounding this horrible disease. Read poster TF's explanation, "Why Lyme Doctors Don't Take Insurance":

When you call for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in earlier by doing this.

Check the online state Lyme groups at:

Maybe they can help.

Some more resources for you (including Support Group info):

Dr. H, the top LLMD, has written a new book entitled, "Why Can't I Get Better?". It is an excellent source of information.

Read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check the local library or buy it used on Amazon.
