I am having trouble finding a LLMD in Illinois.
Can someone help me out? All the contact info I am pulling off the Internet seems outdated as the phone numbers are disconnected. Even an Indiana or doctor in Wisconsin would help...

PM me or email: [email protected]

Thanks!

Hi! Can somone recommend a LLMD in IL? I'm new to this board. I've been going to the Detroit Fibro and Fatigue Clinic for the past year with not much improvement in symptoms.

I was told I was negative for Lyme by FFC. Igenex IgM Western Blot Results: INDeterminate ** bands **23-25, **34, **39 and ++ positive to band 30 and **41.

Igenex IgG Western Blot Results: INDeterminate bands **31, **39, **83-93 and ++ positive to bands **41 and 58.

Thanks for any help! [email protected]

Thanks to everyone for sending me PMs with doctor referrals. I'd like to leave some feedback for others interested in LLMDs in IL.

I saw Dr. Z (Chicago) in March 2007. He states that he is not a LLMD but seems to be the only doctor on the "Good List" for Illinois.

He is a Internal Medicine Doctor. He was very nice and listened to me. I was asked to bring my medical records. He copied a few but didn't look at them.

Dr. Z told me I had "post Lyme autoimmune disorder". My husband and I thought that was a laugh. How could I get a post-dx when I never could get the dx?

Dr Z and I do not agree on my use of pain meds or B-HRT (hormones). I've had to fight and claw to get my treatment pieced together thus far. I have HPA issues.

The very long string of doctors that I've seen since 1981 have diagnosed me with hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I've got a long history of GERD, endometriosis and a knee replacement.

I also have sarcoidosis and may possibly have polycythemia vera. There's something abnormal about my bone marrow and blood production.

Dr. Z is very much against steriods. I take 5 mg. of hydrocortisone 3-4X per day or a 20 mg. dose in the AM. Without adrenal gland support my thyroid meds don't work.

For the past year, I wasted a ton of money at the Detroit FFC. They did a Igenex WB (my results posted on this thread) but do not know how to read it. I was initially told I had Lyme based on a Quest WB. I was given Doxy. Then I was told to off Abx.

For these reasons, I've decided to persue treatment with Dr. C (MO).
