Hi there. I'm new around here and I've been doing a lot of research. I've had 2 dogs test positive for lyme disease and recently have had symptoms that have been undiagnosed but fit the checklist like a lock and key.
I'm amazed being in the medical field that no one has caught it, but I have fatigue, severe neck stiffness, sensitivity to alcohol and recently runs of PVC's that have been downright scary. The list goes on but those are some of the most troubling.
I would love to find a LLMD, I live in the middle of nowhere (wheeling, wv) and Pittsburgh PA, Cleveland or Columbus OH would all be easy to get to.
Thanks so much for your help in advance and thanks for sites like this, I really thought I was going crazy!

Dr. Burrascano's most recent "Diagnostic Hints and 2008 Treatment Guidelines for Lyme and Other Tick Borne Illnesses" @
please go to my newbie links, copy the entire thing, and then print this off....FINANCIAL BURDENS compiled by melanie reber print off pages 74 - 92; outstanding info there. i believe there are a few more general comments there without links!! print that off too as it's newer info from members thru their own personal, tragic experiences.
Betty's suggested POSTING GUIDELINES . many of us have neuro lyme where we can NOT read long solid block text and be able to comprehend and read it as is.
please edit your post by CLICKING PAPER/PENCIL ICON to right of your name. that opens up BOTH subject line and body text.
now please break up your WORDY SENTENCES into one sentence paragraphs. Then hit ENTER KEY ``TWICE`` after each paragraph; we need that space for comprehension.
then go to left hand corner and mark box to receive ALL REPLIES, and click EDIT SEND
we thank you for helping us; otherwise, we will SOB, SCROLL ON BY, since we can't read to help you. If I see posts like this, I SOB them; to hard on me. ------------------------------------------------------
People seeking doctors might be able to get help from their state online information and support group. Nearly 3,400 people belong to state groups. Some of the groups are small but more than 20 of them have 50 or more people and seven have over 100.
The groups are moderated and you have to apply. Most don't allow doctor names, but once on the group, you can ask for doctors in a certain area and ask people to email you privately. *******************************************
