Hey Mets,
So sorry to hear you've been suffering for so long. Hopefully you'll get on the road to recovery soon!
If you go to www.MarylandLyme.org and look at the menu on your left you will see DOCTOR REFERRALS.
You can find Lyme treating health care professionals there, listed by state and country. It also has links to help find alternative doctors, chiropractors, specialists in Morgellons and MTHFR.
You will see some are listed as having phone or Skype follow up appointments which may help you.
The Lyme Doc site also has a listing for good labs, links to find a naturopathic doctor, acupuncture and oriental medicine doctors too.
Holistic dentists, experts in mold, and even places to avoid are listed there.
Also, here is a "Help For You" page that, if needed, can help with the cost of labs, provide free or reduced priced medications, grants to assist those under 25 with Lyme related costs, free cell phones and more.
Happy New Year!

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for NC, FL & VA.
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. None in SC.
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":
