Hi, We live in the northeast section of Massachusetts and are looking for a doctor that will see our almost 4 year old daughter that we believe has Lyme disease. She has been diagnosed with having JRA related to an arthritic knee. However, none of the doctors we have seen want to address any of her other symptoms that don't seem to relate to JRA (headaches, anxiety, intense fatigue, nightmares, chronic muscle / joint pains, urinary problems...just to name a few).
Being a bit naive we have tried a couple pedi's in our area and today we were actually told that she might just be "attention seeking" because "that is what 4 year olds do" and truly suggested something about mental health therapy. I am in complete amazement that this is actually happening.
There has to be someone out there that can help us?
Thank you!
