is it ok to say how jealous i am of anyone who lives near their LLMD?
we are in atlanta, surrounded by lyme ignorance with no full-on LLMDs to speak of. (you almost feel sorry for the southern ducks as they shrug off the idea of lyme as a "northeastern" problem.)
i know many other lymies have been through the same experience -- having to drive three or more hours or even get on a plane to see a LLMD personally.
thank god for a few kind llmds in other states who will talk to me on the phone after they finish a long day of treating patients in their offices.
just goes to show how the core of lyme recovery is really in the hands of the kindness and generosity of other people. (much like the many loyal posters on this board.)

The last two times I took my dd to the eminent pediatric LLMD in Ct, there were families from Florida and Texas there. The Texas family came on an angel flight.
We thanked our lucky stars that we only have to drive 4 hours! REally.

I am indeed blessed!! My wonderful LLMD is only 40 miles away!!
Of course, that's how I found him. I didn't know I had lyme when I found him!!

Yes, I fly from Ohio to NY to see mine. Fortunately, he does phone consults and lets me do my monthly blood work locally. I go up there several times per year.
