I am hoping to find a professional in the Fairfield County area that can help me find some answers to my aches and pains! I have had several tests with negative results, done antibiotic regimens and still experience joint swelling and leg pain. Based on what I have read, I feel that I may be suffering from Lymes....and I know I have been bitten by ticks. I am headed to a rheumatologist next week, but would really like to have the name of someone who specializes. Thanks so much.

Don't expect the rheumie to know anything about lyme or even consider it.

They also will not use the best lab to test for Lyme. You need a test thru Igenex Lab in CA.

I had PMed wingnut, and he(she?) just sent back that a visit has been scheduled with a good LLMD. So perhaps all set now...
