I hope you get some personal referrals. In the meantime:

� Ask your LLMD;

� call all LLMDs in your area for their suggestions of a LL L.Ac. (acupuncturist).

� Contact area Lyme Support Groups: http://www.lymenet.org/SupportGroups/

� Many results from a Google search for: Acupuncture, Massachusetts

For both groups below: Call and ask if they know of any L.Ac.s who have a particular interest or experience with lyme. Some may note that in their professional affiliations.

==================================

The Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Society of Massachusetts (AOMSM) is a non- profit professional organization

=======================

http://www.nesa.edu/

New England School of Acupuncture

[Some of the instructors might be ILADS-educated and LL � or they may know of some who are.]

=================================

You might extend the search to a ND (naturopathic doctor). Many (if not most) are also trained and certified in acupuncture. You'd run through similar steps as above to find their professional organizations. Other links here:

What do your acupuncturists specialize in?

What areas do they address?

If you can travel to Providence, you'd be getting not only one of the best acupuncturists in the Northeast, but a totally Lyme Literate one in Luvdogs.
