They said that in judging Lyme doctors they rely on guidelines that say that "rarely, if ever, are more thatn 2-3 weeks of antibiotics necessary to cure Lyme disease."

New York has the most cases of Lyme disease and many of the most experienced and renowned LLMD's.

So, trendsetters that we are in NYS, doctors across the country have gotten the message that if they want to treat Lyme with more than 3 weeks of antibiotics,they could lose their licenses.

So, if you are wondering why it is so hard to find an LLMD, you now have a big part of the answer.

But we ae fighting back.

My doctor has been suggesting that I get retested after my IV Rocephin. I know I still have the symptoms. It would be interesting to discover that the test comes out negative.
