So those of you that have read some of threads already know my story...

I've decided to start the process in taking the appropriate steps in seeing a LLMD in the USA. First step is to obtain a passport...which takes 4-6 weeks.

However, i have a couple of questions.

Are there any LLMD's that also are knowledgeable in MS?

Do LL Neurologists exist?

What LLMD would you recommend that is close to Ontario? NY, MI...?

Thanks,

Chris

Yes, LLMDs treat MS-like symptoms, and yes, there are LL neurologists. You can also see a good LLMD and they will know what to do. People will be along soon to PM you with referrals.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for upstate NY.

You need to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!

They are far and few between, unfortunately. You need to go where they are.

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

Check the online state Lyme groups at:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/StateNameLyme/info

Maybe they can help.

Some more resources for you (including Support Groups info):

Here is a website I found entitled, "The Lyme Maze - Navigating Lyme Disease in Canada":

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

Read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Get it at your local library or buy it used on Amazon.
