Am looking for a good cardiologist who is familiar with Lyme associated cardiac problems and lyme protocols. Preferably in New England or NY, but would consult with/travel to a good one elsewhere.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for Lyme-friendly Cardiologist in CT & LLMDs in NH.

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!

A LLMD is one who has treated Lyme disease and the co-infections which come with it for many years and has gotten patients well. A good one will follow Dr. B's Guidelines, the "gold standard" for Lyme treatment.

Here is a link for them:

Unfortunately, LLMDs are far and few between. You need to go where they are.

Also, most LLMDs do not accept insurance due to the politics surrounding this horrible disease. Read poster TF's explanation, "Why Lyme Doctors Don't Take Insurance":

http://flash.lymenet.org/scripts/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=025539;p=0

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

Check the online state Lyme groups at:

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/NewHampshireLyme/info

Maybe they can help.

Some more resources (including Support Groups info):

http://whatislyme.com/websites-and-support-groups-by-state/

http://www.lymenet.org/SupportGroups/UnitedStates/NewHampshire/

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

Read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check the local library or buy it used on Amazon.

I hope you find some specific names. While you sort out all that, you might find some of these articles very helpful regarding heart influences. Those with lyme are often deficient in magnesium.

Thank you for the information. I am specifically looking for a CARDIOLOGIST who is Lyme-literate and who can work along side my LLMD.
