I live in KY but am preparing to move back to the east coast from which I came and where I was first infected (Long Island). Hoping to better my chances by going where we have more lyme literate doctors.

Please reccomend any in Connecticut you have had good experience with or know someone who has.

NY is also an option, esp. since I have a sister in Brooklyn I will be staying with during my moving transition.

Here's the gist of my sick profile-- thinking especially if we have similar lyme issues your doc in CT (or NY area NY) has helped you with, may be good indication for me too--

I have severe mold sensitivities, positive lab for chronic low-grade RMSF, babesia partly confirmed by response to treatment with artimnesinim, current LLMD strongly suspicious of bartonella and ehrlichiosis. Also huge problems with chronic mono...

...Narcolepsy-like sleep problems, panic attacks and crippling anxiety, peripheral neuropathy, non-stop loud tinnitus, muscle jerks and spasms, memory problems that come on suddenly and resolve as fast like not knowing how to start my car, hallucinations, heart palpatations, and of coarse searing pain and crippling fatigue.

Thank you for reading, hope you will help!

Welcome to Lymenet! Sent you some info.

When calling for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner by doing this.

Most LLMDs do not accept insurance due to the politics surrounding this horrible disease. Ask if they accept your specific insurance (these particular LLMDs do take insurance from what I've read).

Read poster TF's explanation, "Why Lyme Doctors Don't Take Insurance":

http://flash.lymenet.org/scripts/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/2/15615?#000005

Check the online state Lyme groups at:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/connecticutlyme

Maybe they can help.

Some more resources for you (including Support Groups info):
www.lyme-aware.org/connecticut.html

The top LLMD, Dr. H, has written a new book entitled, "Why Can't I Get Better?". It is an excellent source of information.

Also read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check your local library or buy it used on Amazon.

View "Under Our Skin" for free on www.hulu.com

Read www.thehumansideoflyme.net written by a now-retired LL Psychiatrist.
