Does anyone know of a good Lyme Dr in Mississippi? I'm waiting to get in to see one in Tunica in February. Are there any other options? Thank you.

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!
A LLMD is one who has treated Lyme disease and the co-infections which come with it for many years and has gotten patients well. A good one will follow Dr. B's Guidelines, the "gold standard" for Lyme treatment.
Unfortunately, LLMDs are far and few between. You need to go where they are. I don't know of any in MS.
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":
Btw - I know you are new to Lymenet, but you should not use your real name (if in fact you are), because this is a public forum with all sorts of people on it. Read this link about it:
