Looking for a Lyme Literate Neurologist in central Pennsylvania. Or at least one that recognizes chronic lyme.

Thanks

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for LL Neurologist in CT & LLMDs in PA & MD.

I don't know any Lyme-literate Neurologists in PA.

Are you under the care of a LLMD? Lyme and co-infections can cause all sorts of neurological problems.

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.

Also 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 calling for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner to see a LLMD by doing this.

Check the online state Lyme groups at:

Maybe they can help.

The top LLMD, Dr. H, 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. Get it at your local library or buy it used on Amazon.
