I have a suspicious Western Blot for Lyme but my doctor is a bit confused. She's not too familiar with Lyme. I'm seeing an infectious disease doctor on the 27th. No idea how much he knows about Lyme. I've had many and various diagnoses over the years. Far too many different illness and none seem to be correct.

I've just started trying to research info on Lyme and it all sounds confusing to me. [Smile]

I'd love to have the newbie package if someone would send that.
Thanks!
Jackie

I still haven't found an LLMD here in Jacksonville. But I may have found one in Ocala, FL, about 2 hours away. A Dr. B. Not sure how Lyme literate she really is. For the appt. on the 27th I'll see Dr. M or his partner. If I'm not happy I'll go to the one in Ocala. FYI, there's a children's hospital here who treats Lyme in children. They referred me to infectious disease doctor.

Confused? [Smile]

I am.

Thanks for the information! I have a lot of reading and learning to do. I'm really anxious to hear opinions from anyone.
