I am in urgent need to see a Lyme Rheumatologist and have been recommended to see Dr. G. in NJ.

Would like to know how her rates are and what tests she does for people with RA. Does she allow you to stay on immuno-suppressant Enbrel or does she have other protocol? Both LLMD's I've used have were hesitant to take me off the Enbrel but I would like to come off it at some point because of its' toxicity to my body.

Is airline cheapest way to NJ?

Thank you for your help.

Lady

She was my first Lyme doctor for 6 months. I don't have RA but my dad did (I now think it was Lyme) She undertreats and was unwilling to discuss treatmnet.

I will pm you my phone number if you want to know more.

Why not find a good LLMD?? You wouldn't have to have a rheumie would you??

Get someone to treat the Lyme and coinfections and the RA will hopefully disappear!

Find an expert!

Lyme, I use Dr. F. in LA. He was the one who gave me 28 days of IM Clafaron and at Day 20 I broke out all over my body in what has been diagnosed as Morgellon's.

Now I'm fighting 2 demons. Been trying to take Biltricide and Stromectal for the critters but nothing promising yet. The skin condition landed me in 2 Psych wards because I was violently scratching the lesions.

The biofilm was what put my anxiety level over the top. I had never heard of it before and certainly not on me. It covered my legs and looked just like liquid wax that had sealed over the skin. Sickening and very disturbing.

Blessings,
Lady

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