Well,

I've been on treatment for chronic Lyme now for 5 months, and just now making a little improvement.

I just called to check in with my doctor to schedule my next appointment, and found out that his license had been revoked. *&%^%%$##@@#$. His office did not have any recommendations of somebody else to follow up treatment with.

I was already going out of state to see a LLMD. I had already been through the very few so-called LLMD's within Michigan, and thus had to go out of state.

I only have enough ABX to continue for the next 3 weeks. Need to find somebody to pick up treatment here quickly as I don't want to relapse going cold turkey when I run out. I don't mind flying if I can be assured of finding a good practical rational LLMD, who cares about his patients. Any Suggestions? I feel like I'm at the end of my rope.

Yes, my Wisconsin LLMD won't continue to prescribe since his license was just revoked (I suspect under pressure from insurance companies).

Oh I got it now. Yes, we heard about Dr H. Really sad. Another one bites the dust and patients suffer.

Have you been in contact with Linda Lobes? (MI)

Thanks. Still searching. Really sucks that most LLMD's have a waiting list until May, and I will run out of antibiotics for my protocol in late Jan.

I don't know details behind Dr. H's license being revoked, but its sad as he helped me and I know many others fighting this horrible nightmare called Lyme & co.

LymeToo: can you PM me Linda's contact info again, maybe she has some other LLMD ideas since the last time I checked with her many months ago.

Buy a rife machine? Buy a PE-1? You can read about them on Lymenet.

That is horrible! The only thing I can suggest is to order online. I have gotten drugs from India.

Recently I purchased fish doxycycline from Texas, which is great. My borellia symptoms are gone with my fins and scales remedy!

I'm sorry to hear that your LLMD lost his license. Sadly, they will try to find something totally unrelated to Lyme to smack them with, but it's pretty obvious what is going on.

My LLMD said they are out after many of the bigger and more well known doctors. They can all practice since they are innocent until proven guilty, but this is never good.

From what I read, this LLMD (Dr. H in WI) got his license back and is practicing once more, just not accepting new patients. Can anyone confirm this?
