Does anyone know of LLMDs in Southeastern Michigan? Nearby areas include Rochester, Troy, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, etc. Thanks so much for your time!

Inquiry is for me (adult between 30 and 40)
Tick bite on nape of neck (up in hairline) while on dig in southern indiana (near Evansville) in early 1990s.
Engorged tick removed from neck by colleagues who discarded it. Since we all had problems with chiggers and ticks on this dig, I wouldn't be surprised if I had been bitten on other occasions and did not discover them.
Flu like systems within a few days of bite.
Chronic problems thereafter--extreme fatigue, new cardiovascular problem(aortic valve),joint soreness, extreme dry/painful eyes, low grade fevers, etc.
Diagnosed with sjogren's. Negative on the rheumatoid factor.
Lyme test came back negative--have no idea at what laboratory it was processed.
Symptoms flare and ebb. Stress and poor diet seem to trigger flare ups.
Seeking LLMD in southeastern michigan.
Please--no solicitors of vitamins, supplements, etcetera!!!
Thanks to all!

Betty, Thank you for your message. All but one are too distant and the closest one doesn't participate with my insurance company. If you learn of any additional ones, please let me know.
I really do appreciate your information!

I did PM you with a particular doc, but did not see your note about no vitamins, supplements, ect. The one I recommended is big on these things, but then again this doc may be the one that doesn't accept your insurance. Email me when you get a chance.
