To those of you that see Dr. J in North Carolina, what can I expect during/from my visit?

I just got an appointment for March 9th. This, after probably the crappiest morning in a long time.

I have had postive Lyme titers. A number of them. I was sent to a Rheumatologist and met with him for the first time today. He had the nerve to tell me that since I've been treated for Lyme already, I don't have it. He quickly diagnosed me fibromyalgia, and told me there was nothing he coulld do. Nothing....

Don't worry. I educated him on the ins and outs of Lyme and kindly (actually not so kindly) told him to kiss my butt (only I was a little more vulgar).

He was such a jerk. I've just had it. I am so happy that a message from Dr. J was awaiting me when got home... What a blessing!

And, if that wasn't enough, I just checked my email and there's a message from an attorney that is willing to help me with my diability claim (which is a lot more complex since I work for Uncle Sam).

OK. I'm sure some of you have forgotten my original wuestion, because I had to scroll up to figure out what I had posted about. (Thanks for reading my ramblings, I'm just so happy.)

What can I expect from Dr. J?

Hi AP

I sent you a PM.

Dr. J is being hounded by the "Witch hunters" because He is brave enough to treat chronic lyme.

A CAUTION to all who post here:

Be careful what you say on this post. However well intended it could be used by trolls and possibly taken out of context and used against him.

His hearing is in April.

It would be better to error on the side of caution and send pm's

Please don't take offense AP. See the thread below entilted " support letters needed for Dr. J in NC"
