I'm starting to feel like I'm just going to be sick forever! I can't afford to pay cash to see a dr and it seems like all of the LLMDs I find in the DC area are cash only!

Some do!!... but their hands are tied by insurance and therefore they can't always offer the same care the other LLMD's do.

Thanks Lymetoo.

I guess it comes down to deciding between paying my mortgage and being sick or being homeless and healthy. [Frown] its such a shame that the industry has made it like that.

There IS a doctor who treats lyme not far from you and he takes some insurances. But, he doesn't know enough to get rid of lyme for most people.

If you want his name, let me know. You can at least start with him.
