Hi,

I am looking for an LLMD in MA. I was dignosed with Sjogren's but have many symtoms beyond sjogrens, all of which are on the Lyme checklist. I have had symptoms for several years now.
My doctor did a Lyme test (not sure what type od test), but he said it was negative and told me there is no such thing a a false negative.

I am looking for an LLMD so I can confirm if these symptoms could be Lyme or not.

thanks

Thanks for suggestions!.

I am thinking of using an LLMD that is close to home to at least do the initial screen and lab work. I am still not sure I have Lyme, but I do have many of the symtoms.

How important is the selection of an LLMD for an initial screen and lab test? Can most do this step? From that point on is it the treatment that differentiates LLMDs?

thanks
