I was bitten by a tick, had the rash, but tested negative for Lyme on Quest's ELISA test. Symptoms have included joint pains, eyelid twitching, some fatigue, UTI-like sensations and bad muscle pain. No severe cognitive stuff as of yet.
Given the choice between Dr. E. Eir../J. Dru... in Jackson, NJ, Dr. A. Gai.. in Basking Ridge, or Dr. S. Fre.....eld in Stockton, who would you recommend that I'd see? All of them came highly recommended from various people. I want to make an appointment for the week after next.
Thanks- -Drew

I would recommend staying away from Dr. Gai..in Basking Ridge just based on my personal experience. I think the Stockton group is a good one and have heard good things about Dr. E.
I see Dr. Str... in Howell.

Most of us here have had the same story. Elisa means nothing - very low accuracy rate.
Dr. E in Jackson literally saved my life. I'm a chronic Lymer, and now have been off antibiotics since November, and doing extremely well.
Email me if you want more info.

Dr. E in Jackson would be a good choice. She and Dr. D literally gave me my life back after contracting this horrible disease.
I've been to Dr. F's office in Stockton for non-Lyme related issues. He is an osteopath. They do see a fair amount of LD patients there. His is a group practice and I've seen only Dr. B**k when I've gone there. When I told him about having had LD, he didn't think I was a crackpot and agreed that it needed to be treated aggressively and is not easy to get rid of.
Dr. F's practice will offer alternative treatments. You will need to discuss them with him.
Dr. E is a medical doctor and is well-versed in supplements and diets that will help fight LD and yeast problems.
Both the Stockton practice and Dr. E will treat the "whole" person and not just your symtoms.
