I've had chronic Lymes for 7 yrs now. I had the rash and then was sick for so long that I had to force the doc to test me for Lymes. It came back positive, but they told me it was negative. I found out months later via the VA Dept of Health that I had Lymes.
I believed my Infectious Disease doc that things would just eventually get better. But, I'm still sick. I've always got an infection & the docs just simply give up on me - why do they think I like to take antibiotics!?! And, after starting graduate school last year, it came back with a vengence. My life has literally fallen apart along with my body. It's time I start fighting this. But, how can I if I'm so far from the doctors that treat it?
PLEASE if anyone knows of a healthcare professional in Richmond VA that would at least be understanding enough to get me through the infections, please let me know! Of course a LLD would be great - someone who offers IV treatments for chronic...wow, that'd be great. But, I'm looking for any and all possible leads for help.
Thank You!

Betty note: I tried printing out the chart, but it goes SIDEWAYS, and tried printing in pages 1, 2, 3; it kept printing page 1 only! So just a warning if others try to do this; use your PRINT REVIEW FIRST which I did, and indicated DIFFERENT pages, but still got page 1 only! I gave up after 8 tries! uffda
