Hi,
Could someone help with LLMDs in the VA/MD/DC area?
Willing to travel to NYC if necessary.
The DC Metro area would be ideal, especially VA and MD.
It's for a young person, but over 18.
An old friend reached out to me for help. Her daughter has sx consistent with neuro Lyme.
More details if needed. We have reason to believe it could be Lyme.
I used to be here years ago. I was a patient of Dr. D. in Boston and Dr H in the Boston area. I've been doing better. I haven't been part of the Lyme scene for a while.
If anyone still remembers me, I'm happy to be in touch again.
I'm thinking about everyone in the path of this storm.
It's good to be here again. With so many thanks.

Welcome back to LymeNet henson2. We would LOVE to hear how you have been doing after all these years! You could start a new post in General Forum which would help old members to connect with you. đź’š
Of coarse we can help with your LLMD search. Start here;
Some of these are simple e-mail formats that you fill out and they respond with LLMD’s in your area. You MUST research each LLMD referred. To do this, google for patient reviews and call each LLMD provider and ask what their treatment protocols entails.
These lists are not exhaustive and may be outdated. Call the doctor to see if they are taking new patients!
Lyme Facebook Groups
Lyme disease support groups are abound on Facebook. There are probably a couple hundred to choose from, including city- and state-specific forums, treatment-focused groups, and an assortment of national groups. Because people discuss the challenges they face and the symptoms they endure while living with Lyme, most groups and forums are kept on a "private" setting so others outside the group won't see what you post.
To locate a group, type a description of the kind of group you're hoping to join, such as, "Lyme disease lowa," and review the selections that pop up. When you find one that interests you, request to join it. Each group may have certain posting and privacy guidelines, but once you're a member, you can crowdsource information regarding Lyme-literate medical doctors and Lyme disease specialists who may be able to help you. Plus, you can get feedback from others about the kinds of treatments they've found beneficial.
Here are Lyme Support Groups in the states you have mentioned;
I will send you a pm for Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia. Thank you for being a Lyme advocate for your friend. 💚❤️
