Welcome to LymeNet ... Here is some information that may help you:
Lyme disease is known as the great imitator because it imitates so many other diseases and medical problems and this is sometimes confusing to the average medical doctor.
Also, the tests for Lyme disease are unreliable and many people who actually had Lyme disease received false negatives on tests that are currently available for Lyme however a positive test should be taken seriously as false positives are rare.
A rash (sometimes described as a bulls eye but the rash can take on any shape) occurring within days or weeks of a bite by an infected deer tick is a positive symptom of Lyme disease. The rash occurs in approximately 50% of the people who get Lyme disease. Anyone who has been bitten by a tick or who develops symptoms of Lyme disease should be concerned!!!
The best diagnosis is done by a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor (LLMD). This is a doctor who is highly experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease.
If you are looking for Lyme Literate Medical Doctors (LLMD) I suggest you do the following:
Note: This is the "LymeNet Guide to Lyme Disease". This document will give you a good overview of Lyme disease, the symptoms and treatment recommendations.
If you need additional information, click on the "On-Line Library" topic on the left menu bar.
Note: This is Dr. Burrascano's "Diagnostic Hints and Treatment Guidelines for Lyme and Other Tick Borne Illnesses"
My daughter had Lyme disease for over 10 years before she was correctly diagnosed and began treatment. She has regained her health and is symptom free. Her story is at: http://www.angelfire.com/nj/lorib
Hopefully, some day soon, we'll beat this disease. Good luck, Lou Bachman, administrator on leave due to a severe heart attack 12-06
welcome! since this is your 1st post, please tell me more. The reason is we have trolls and spies from IDAS, infectious disease associated society trying to get names, phone nos/addresses so MORE of our LLMD, lyme literate mds can be brought up on charges from that state's health dept. like:
Dr. Jemsek in NC, and Dr. Charles Roy Jones, Conn; almost 2 years of hearings over $250,000+ OUT OF POCKET for lawyer's fee to defend him. Now I hope you understand. If you don't, go to activism and read the posts there about specific drs., especially Dr. Jones who had his LAST hearing in conn! DECISION IN SEPT. whether he keeps his medical license or not.
now please tell us about yourself: *********************************** is this for yourself or a child; what age?
how long have you been sick?
did you have an imbedded tick? a bulls-eye rash?
symptoms?
have you had testing done: western blot igm and igg blood test by:
igenex in calif; md labs in nj; or stoneybrook in ny ... they are the best USA has! NOTE: Fry Lab in Arizona is great for co-infectionS and costs $250 there vs. Igenex's $1,000 testing there!
please show all this in your NEW post, and we will help you.
I will send you by PM, private message, my 59 pages newbie links, advise, symptoms, igenex testing, disability, TREEPATROL'S NEWBIE ARCHIVE LINK, and much more!
You can PM me OR ANYONE ELSE, by going to right side of MY/their name shown on this thread, click on 2 people by envelope....that's a PM! Now send me a note asking for my newbie's links, and i'll send it that day or next day at latest unless i'm sick!

If you are willing to drive down to the Chico area, there are several doctors here who treat aggressively.
