I live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in Texas and I'm looking for a neurologist who specializes in Lyme Disease. I realize that there may not be any doctors with that specialty here in Texas, so I'm willing to travel out of state to see a doctor who can help me.
I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease one year ago. I have severe headaches, vertigo, dizziness, fatigue and a low-grade fever that comes and goes. So far, doctors have been unable to help me with the headaches, vertigo and dizziness. I had an MRI done recently and the results were normal.

Electrolite, if you're just beginning treatment, you may do very well without a neurologist. Your best bet is to find a VERY QUALIFIED LLMD.... the neurology is secondary.
(Utah and Washington are NOT known for their LLMD's)
Any good LLMD will know how to treat the neuro problems.

Thanks, Lymetoo! I am shocked to find out how much information about Lyme Disease there is on the internet. For the past year, I haven't done much research because I wanted to simply follow my doctor's treatment plan and that's it. I was just too scared to know the details of what it can do to your body. I wanted to keep positive as much as I could and I thought that the less I knew about any horror stories, the better.
But now a year has gone by, and I am much better than I was last summer and fall, but I still have many of the symptoms and I'm not by any means back to normal. I have been on treatment for a year, and now I want to try something different to see if it will help me get well.
I have read (probably on this board) that a good LLMD is enough, so I'm not narrowing myself just to neurologists anymore. Is Texas known for good LLMDs?

Electrolite, if out of state is okay for you to find a really good Dr., I can highly recommend my doctor in Lebanon, New Hampshire. He has really saved my life. He was about the 9th doctor I went to for the last 4 years and he is the one treating me for chronic lyme. I will PM you with more info. Hang in there!

Hi! I am in Fort Worth and travel to Springfield MO to see Dr C for my treating LLMD. I see a great neurologist in Richardson (Dallas) TX. I believe 4-5 people on this board see him.
Dr H does not treat Lyme disease, but he does believe in LD and treats the pain, headaches, insomnia, neuropathy, fatigue etc...
If you are interested in more information let me know and I will pm you. Foggedup
