Sorry, I know this should be posted in "Seeking a Doctor". I have done that, but think more people will see my post and respond.

My son is having a major herx for the past week having been on Rifampin and Doryx since Dec.07 to treat Bart. He has had chronic pain for several years and is in a lot more pain now.

I need a good pain doc in Chicagoland/northern Illinois area a.s.a.p.Please can you recommend someone?

Do they understand Lyme and its co-infections? Have they helped treat your pain?

Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Please go to SUPPORT GROUPS, left-hand side column by state.
CALL the nearest group leader for advise.
Do NOT email; many are too sick to reply; thanks!

People seeking doctors in certain states might be able to
get help from their state online information and support group. Over 1500
people belong to these state groups. Many of the groups are small
but quite a few have 20 or more people on them.

To find your state group, go to
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/statenamelyme

Type your state name and lyme as one word, e.g. newyorklyme

For SC, SD, ND and WY, put a hyphen between the statename
and lyme, e.g. northdakota-lyme

The groups are moderated so you have to apply, and we don't
allow doctor names, but once on the group, you can ask for doctors in a certain area and ask people to email you privately.
