I am desperate. I have contacted and/or gone to see over 23 doctors so far. Either they didn't accept my insurance, or they were Lyme ignorant. I am willing to travel ANYWHERE to see a LLMD who would be willing to treat me, as long as they accept my insurance.
I had a positive IgM (bands 41 and 23), and negative IgG, which has caused many doctors to deny me treatment, despite having all symptoms of Lyme Disease. I also tested positive for Babesiosis. I recently discovered I have thyroiditis, which is also going untreated.

MA,
Just go to a regular old endrocronologist for the thyriod. They can treat that one little thing without being Lyme literate.
I've been looking for a LLMD endo. No luck. but with synthroid I've been just fine in regards to my thyroid problems.

You mean the doctor who diagnosed thyroiditis is not treating you? I would raise a racket about that with whoever the doctor is.
I will send you a private message about docs nearby. Ann - OH
