Hi,
Can anyone recommend a doctor or ARNP who at least understands lyme testing so I can help a friend just get tested. They don't have to be a lyme doctor, just someone who will go the extra mile to help get the right test for accuracy.

Thanks!

If you can't find anyone who specializes in Lyme you can always DEMAND that a regular doctor do the tests, make sure to get the Western Blot, and if they come out negative and you still think it's lyme than go to someone who specializes in it for an Igenex test.

The LDA has a find a doctor application and if you ask in General Support you'll most likely get a response. Betty G gave me a very helpful list, but she took a breather.

I think John S ment if you post this in Seeking a Doctor. That's the "find a LLMD".

You also should try contacting a local Lyme support group. That page's link is on the left side of page under the "Flash Discussion"

Good luck

I guess I posted it in the wrong place =) I posted it in General Support because Carol from Healing Well(I think that was the site) said there.

The Doctor who diagnosed me with lyme and is treating me is at the Fibro and Fatigue Center in Marietta, GA.

They believe in lyme. She said half of her patients have lyme.

BUT, I will warn you, they do not take any insurance and you will have to pay out of pocket....really, really expensive...

Hello anyone around GA

Can you email me with any details about where you get treatment at-I live in Jekyll Island, GA and really need a doc who knows something about Lyme.

Thanks
