Hello,
My child was treated for lyme last May w/ antibiotics for 28 days. Over past few months, we started noticing increasing complaints of GI pain (did full GI workup including endoscopy and nothing noted). In addition, there have been behavioral changes (anger, anxiety, depression, learning difficulties) that have surfaced. Currently trying anti-anxiety meds. Depression seems better, but anxiety and stomach complaints persist. Thought we should explore further to see if could be related to lyme and wanted to know if anyone has recommendations for doctors in Massachusetts vicinity. Thank you.

Hi questions,

I am assuming your child needs a pediatrician?
TO my knowledge, there is only one lyme pediatrician is New England, I'll PM the name to you along with another MD (MA)who may see a child. You'd have to call the office to ask.

Can someone please help out? thanks.

I'm sorry but I am no longer accepting any private messages due to my own battle with lyme.
