I'm from Illinois, but have moved down to my parents' home in South Carolina for the time being to try to get a handle on my Lyme. I'm seeing a good doctor, but unfortunately he does not know much about Lyme.
A little background: I'm 26 and have suffered from increasing health problems since I had double mono at age 18. This past February I was finally diagnosed with Lyme (with IGeneX Western Blot), but I have no idea when I became infected.
My IL doctor is not a registered LLMD, but has shadowed Dr. C in Missouri. I'm extremely sensitive to antibiotics and herx very badly. I was able to slowly get through Doxy, and then tried to do Flagyl for a couple months, but it was too powerful for me. So I just switch to Ceftin a few days ago. I'm only taking 1/4 of 250 mg tablet once daily, and although it's not my worst ever herx, it's pretty bad already (cognitive impairment, very severe physical/mental fatigue, all over achiness, etc.).
While I have this time away from my job in IL, I would like to find an LLMD to make sure I'm on the right track. Thank you so much for your help.

My family lives in Charleston and I travel there often.
My LLMD -- the best I've seen so far and a true delight -- is in Jacksonville, Fla., just south of you. She is extremely literate about co-infections as well.
She is great at offering the right relief for herxing as well as pulsing abx and working up to a good level slowly. She also gives rife treatments in her office. Image that, a doc who gives rife treatments!
Anyway, PM me if you're interested.
Best of luck SusanH
