My 21 year old daughter has had neurological symptoms (severe fatigue, brain fog, short-term memory loss, attention problems, dizziness, problems with fine motor skills, migraines) for nearly two years. She was just forced to take another leave of absence from college because it's gotten worse again.
She had one Lyme test (Western blot) with several indeterminate markers. (I hope that makes sense - I'm just learning about Lyme.) She was tested again this week, and we're waiting for results.
Her PCP thinks it's time to consult a LLMD to see if Lyme is causing the neurological symptoms because no other cause has been found.
We live near Boston, but would travel to the moon for good and appropriate medical care. She has been plagued by another chronic medical condition for several years, and is too nice a kid to go through this too. Your LLMD suggestions and advice are very welcome.
