Just had a call from her and she is devastated - she posted on the 'looking for a doctor', but has not found anyone yet.

Anyone in Boston who knows a doctor that will treat - was bit three months ago, bull's eye, and all.

She will be checking in here for answers.

Take care.

Hey Gigi,

I would pass on what I have, but your PM is disabled and I don't have your email...

Please email me for info.

Gigi,
I'm here in Boston too. I've been very happy with Dr. D. and I'm continuing to make progress. I have a list of LLMDs in New England. Can I email it directly to the woman seeking help? I'll go over to seeking a Dr. & will try to find her there.

Please tell her to avoid MGH. Unless she has large swollen knees they won't give her treatment there. They tried to convince me I didn't have Lyme despite 2 positive tests and dozens of symptoms.

Bostonlyme - Rob - is obviously from boston....

He was seeing dr. D but because he doesnt treat coinfections... plus I do not think he offered him much choices of treatment...

I think two... tetra or biaxin/plaquenil(sp?)..

he has changed drs.....

so he has a new llmd but I dont know if he is traveling to get to him...

You could ask him though.

Best wishes [Smile]

Gigi,
I am always checking the seeking docs listings and have responded to everyone I've seen about llmds in the Boston area. Can't imagine how I'd have missed her.

I wouldn't recommend Dr.D based on several peoples experiences with him.

I see Dr.P in Ma. and have found him very well informed on Lyme and it's co-infections. I have been confused as to why I keep seeing the same people "desperately" looking for LLMDs even after getting several recommendations.....
