You'd think this would be a no-brainer since Lyme is endemic here, but I can't find anyone nearby for my 10 yo daughter. Pediatrician is out since her regular junk lab tests came out negative and I'd like to get her seen soon. Told me to take her to an orthopedist for the severe joint pain. Steroids for the pain? No, thanks, I'd rather not make her sicker than she already is...
We're waiting on Igenex results from blood drawn yesterday, but her symptoms continue to escalate. Dr. B's office in West Chester did the draw, but I don't know if he'll take her as a patient if it comes out positive. Any leads gratefully welcomed.

Anyone else have other recommendations? I'm trying to build up a list so we have options if she does come up positive. Thanks!

Azure, NJ is close enough! Chester County is SE Pennsylvania just west of Philly. I have a friend with Lyme who mentioned her doctor was in NJ. Maybe the same doctor? I'd welcome a confirming vote for her doctor or a name I haven't gotten yet, so you can PM me with a name and contact info. Thanks!
