Topic: Lyme specific doc in NYC?

Hi all,

I'm seeing a great integrative doctor in NYC, she sent me for Igenex tests, they came out like this....

IGG:41
IGM: 23-25IND, 31++++, 29IND, 41+, 83-93+

I have chronic hives, migratory joint pains, exhaustion, headache. Been sick since 9/06 and I'm 27 years old.

I love the doctor I'm seeing now, but I'm concerned she isn't Lyme-specific. She basically treats tough to diagnose patients, like me. Right now she has me on 100mg doxy twice a day.

Two questions:

1) Should I be seeing a doctor that treats specifically Lyme?

2) Can someone send me/PM the name of one of those docs in NYC? Or a couple of those docs?

Thanks!

Jen

I am also looking for LLMDs in NYC.

Despite various symptoms, a blood test by my GP about two years came up negative. It's time to revisit this and see a MD with more Lyme disease experience.

Thanks.

Steven
