Hello all!
My name is Janet and I live in NE Tennessee. I have been very ill since 1996 and unable to work. I have been diagnosed with fibro, chronic fatigue, IC, IB, have neuro symptoms with negative CAT Scan, MRI and Nerve Conduction Study. Both my grown children are sick and my two grandsons just tested positive for Lyme by Dr. J in Connecticut. I have an appt. at the J. Clinic in NC next week and wonder if anyone out there has been to this clinic and could tell me what to expect. They were very helpful and nice over the phone. This is more than a four hour trip for me but there are no Lyme Literate doctors in my area. Any comments are appreciated!

Janet,

I heard Dr. J speak a few years ago to our local support group. A brilliant man who knows his stuff and really, really cares about his patients and the lack of attention to Lyme.

I also met a patient of his who had moved to the area and spoke extremely highly of him.

Bring all your tests and written medical history so you have all the information you need.

Hi Janet; glad to see you posting. Sorry to read ALL of your family has lyme too!

ConnieMC is a patient of his. Look for a post from her in ACTIVISM, click on the link, and then click on her PROFile, THE 1ST ICON shown.

You can then send her a PM, private message, asking questions ok! Bettyg [Big Grin]
