For my daughter: 47

For me: only 2
BUT, I knew I had lyme and went straight to my daughter's llmd after my internist said I didn't have lyme (ELISA).

hmmm...I honestly can't remember. Definitely more than 30 doctors of various specialties. Also, a number of psychologists and psychiatrists. The mental hospital is a haze because of all the haldol they had me on, not to mention pills that I don't know what they were. I know there were several psychiatrists in there...also, I don't know if this counts, but there are several doctors in my family, also a radiologist neighbor down the street I had an emergrency consult with while running from the police who were trying to put me in a mental hospital.
Thanks for everything, allen steere.

Need to edit my response, i said a possiblity of 4,2 being from the same clinic and just a follow up from one appt

In honesty I'm not sure, there is the possibilty I've had this for 9 years, would explain somethings. If that's the case how many docs I have seen over the years in complaint of symptoms I don't know. Guessing over 10 maybe 15

I saw 10 doctors before my diagnosis by a LLMD. Two of the docs counted out Lyme early on, and then nine months later a chiropractor said "this sounds like Lyme, you should go see Dr. H".
Also, I received terrific results during those nine months from a chiropractor in NJ...it truly relieved many of my symptoms to a degree...he's in northern NJ if anyone needs the info.

Thanks,
