I am having Lyme symptoms after experience multiple tick bites in April. Have been to a dermatologist and a neurologist who both shrugged off the idea of Lyme Disease. Dermatologist claims I have shingles and the Neurologist is concerned about MS. Please help me find someone who will at least consider the possibility of Lyme Disease.
Symptoms I have are: rash on scalp (thats where I found the ticks), numbness and tingling around my mouth, fatigue and muscle aches in my legs, muscle twitches after exercise, and the most recent symptom is severe blurred vision.
Thanks so much

I don't know of a LLMD in Nebraska, but there is one in Springfield Missouri, Dr C. Good Luck finding a doctor.

I lived in Nebraska until about 7 years ago. I have some friends who have been battled Lyme for 13+ years only to *finally* feel symptom free.
I just talked to one of those friends' mother who also battled Lyme and she told me that they went to Kansas City for treatment because it was the only place where they could find an LLMD.
However, the LLMD may have retired by now. But if you would like I can ask around or give you contact information for my friend. I know that she would go out of her way to help another Lyme sufferer because Lyme is SO horrible!
Good luck and let me know if traveling to KC is an option.
(I don't know which town you are in but my friend is in Lincoln.)
