Hi,
I am looking for a LLMD in Houston, TX and also in Pittsburgh PA. Can anyone message me with recommendations?

This would be to treat an adult patient with a long-term infection, and currently inconclusive test results:

--positive Labcorp CD-57 (14L/uL)
--positive mycoplasma and biofilm tests
--white matter brain lesions on MRI
--various other out of range values - MCV, MCH, MCHC, homocysteine, TGF-b1, mercury.
--NEGATIVE on IGM Western Blot, but showing antibody reaction on band 23
--NEGATIVE for Babesia or Bartonella on Labcorp tests

--There is a history of showing up positive on the Western Blot, but since beginning treatment, Western Blots have all shown negative results.

Any advice on doctors would be very appreciated. Thank you!

The only Dr in Texas is Dr S, but she is not a true LLMD. You might be better off going to Dr W in. Dr S takes insurance and you will have to know what you want in terms of treatment, Dr W does not take insurance but is probably more up to date and could handle a more complex case.

I will send a pm. I edited out the dr names, forgot about the rules.
