Hi all,
I was recently diagnosed with late stage lyme arthritis, and I am having trouble finding doctors familiar with lyme disease out here in Utah. Does anyone know any LLMDs in Utah or anywhere in the west? Thanks!

It's a lonely place to have Lyme disease! We do have at least one member from Utah.

You will probably have to travel.

hi all,
thanks so much, jggrl, for all of your help! it is great to have found all of you.

mbroderick, i asked my student health doc to test for lyme disease when i had a strangely swollen knee. both my eliza and western blot were positive. but since that guy has never seen or treated lyme disease before i am looking into specialists...

I'll send you a PM. I know of several Lyme docs in Colorado, but none in Utah. [Frown]

FYI

It may interest you to know there is a PHD scientist doing research on Lyme arthritis at the University of Utah. Just log thier website and find her name. I'd post it here but I have forgotten it but it was easy to find and she reponded to my eamil.

Now how did she end up at the University of Utah--who knows?????

But she might be a resource and find YOU of interest.

I will also p.m. you.

I grew up in Utah so I am alwasy wondering what is going on there and every where in the West--where lyme is a fruit, that is imported from elsewhere.

ha-that was my attempt at a joke, but really I got it in the West myself! And I think many of us have.

best of luck

It's been quite a while since you posted your search. I am a Utah resident as well, but am staying with my sister in Iowa for a couple of months this winter. I recently posted a doctor search on lymenet and received good consistant feedback on someone I can see initially here in the midwest, but I will not be staying here after the winter. I'm emailing you to inquire whether you have found a physician in Utah who has helped with your lyme illness?

welcome utah to the board.

yes, there are llmds in your state. so when you start your own thread; show largest city near you on that line and UTAH.

in body test; show 4-5 largest city by you with the NEAREST ONES being shown first ok! [Wink]

you will have better results if YOU start YOUR own post.

also, read the post at top from LYMETOO about seeking drs. and answering our questions first so we can HELP you by YOUR helping us first! [Smile]
