Just a thought... even if he says the coast is clear this time, if she has symptoms in the future it might be easier to get in with this doc if you can say she's seen him before...
if you're taking votes, i say keep this appt.
hope all goes well!

So...met with Dr. M today. Good news is he thinks my daughter is all clear. Everything checked out. He even called Dr. J to double check who also agreed based on the examination that my Daughter is fine. At 6 weeks post bite she should have symptoms by now which she doesn't.
Love Dr. M btw. I am considering seeing him too.

Thanks and Yes. It was a blessing. I felt good when Dr. M said he thought she was fine. I felt BETTER when he called Dr. J, the foremost expert, to double check!
What concerned me...we discussed my lyme for a few minutes (I was diagnosed on 5/3) and he said I have a LONG ROAD ahead of me given I had an abnormal brain spect. Humph.
Kind of bummed me out. I didn't think I was that bad off given my energy level is good and I've seen improvement in the first 5 weeks of treatment. Hope he is wrong. I do like him though. He was able to validate what my Doc in Mass is doing is appropriate. I was concerned as to whether I was getting proper treatment that was agressive enough. Should I be on IV. He said 400mg of Doxy was like being on IV and the 1000mg of Flagyl pulsed every 2 weeks for 3 days was good. He does it usually 3 days / week, but a lower dose. So...made me feel good.
