First of all, I want to say how greatful I am to everyone who participates in this discussion group for providing such valuable and much-needed information for people who are struggling with diagnosis or treatment. Finding this site is the best thing that's happened to me in weeks!
I'll try and keep this brief and stick to the outline in the new topics post:
Request: if you know of any LYME LITERATE MDS, LLMDS, on Long Island:
-Garden City -Huntington -Syosset -Farmingdale (Those areas would be easiest, but I am perfectly willing to travel--even into Manhattan or out to the forks, if necessary!)
please send ME a private message; that's 2 people standing together to right of your name, and give me the following info please IF POSSIBLE
full name specialty street city, state
phone no. fax no. email or web page IF one...
do they take insurance? which ones? test & treat for co-infections IV abx if needed oral abx
cost for 1st visit & length of time followups & length of time
About myself: -This request is for me, not for a child -I've had IgG/IgM test from LABCORP, tested at the upper limit of normal but no Western was done -Yes, there was an attached, embedded tick (about 2 years ago) -No, there was never any bull's eye rash -I've had irregular bouts of muscle weakness, dizziness, chest pressure, stiff neck, headaches (not sure if they're all related or not) for about a year
-Two months ago I was prescribed Doxycycline and Naprosin after a minor medical procedure, and about a day and a half later, I became violently ill (nausea) and couldn't manage to take any more of either prescription. The nausea went away after about two more days, but since then I have had chronic problems with stiff neck, dizziness, ringing in my ears, fogginess, irritability, and problems with forgetting important details at work and at home.
If anyone can help me locate a LLMD in my area, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks so much, Vezzy

Thanks so much, both of you! ...And thank you for the link info as well! Treepatrol has compiled an extensive collection of valuable links and will take a while to go through, but what I have read so far is excellent.
