I got so many helpful replies when I was looking for a LLMD for myself, so I figured I'd turn to you for help for my sister!
My sister has been sick for 3 years. Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia by one doctor, been told she's depressed, it's all in her head, etc, by countless others. We couldn't figure out what might be wrong with her until I got my own diagnosis of Lyme Disease and realized that every symptom I experience is eerily similar to what she's been going through!
She's recently been tested with the Western Blot IGG and IGM, but tested negative on both. From what I've been reading here, these tests are highly unreliable, so I'm looking for some suggestions. Does anyone know of a LLMD in the San Francisco/San Jose, CA area? She lives in Menlo Park.
Any general advice would be appreciated as well! I'm a newbie, and while I've been reading as much as I can about Lyme, most of you know so much more than me. I've also only been sick for a short period of time (3-4 months), while she's been sick much longer. Altho it's possible she doesn't even have Lyme, I want to push her to find a doctor to make sure.
Thanks in advance!! I wish you all luck and hope in dealing with the illness we're all facing.
