Internal medicine doctor who also is a LLMD. And Im slowly getting better.

I saw countless neuros, mental health, family drs, internal medicine, infectious diseases, etc, etc... none of them had a clue, or cared...even after lyme was formally diagnosed.

My LLMD is a physiatrist - a specialist in physical and rehabilitative medicine. He used to be the chief of that department at a major teaching hospital, but left due to the fact they were always looking at the bottom line, as opposed to the best interest of the patients.

Nope, no improvement yet, but I suppose I'm naturally just very poorly suited to handle Lyme.

My LLMD is an infectious disease dr. (i know, unheard of!) She is very good, not ILADS though, to my knowledge.
