I've been showing many LD symptoms for at least 17 years now but my primary doctor ran some blood tests for LD and I tested negative. He has referred me to an infectious disease doc next month who hopefully knows more about this than he does. However, I'd also like to see a LLMD in my Philadelphia, PA area (I'm near Bucks County). I used the lymediseaseassociation.org referral page and kept getting doctors for kids....I'm 35 and now I have to wait 30 days to use that referral service again.
they do not believe in CHRONIC LYME disease. they will only give you UNDER 3 WEEKS OF ANTIBIOTICS which will NOT CURE YOU!!
