I know this should be in seeking a doctor, but it is so urgent that I'm posting it also in Medical.
Some of you will remember me, some of you may not. I was a permanent fixture on Lymenet for a few years and have been well enough for over a year to 'let go' and enjoy my pretty normal life now.
However, got in touch with an old friend on Facebook. Long story short. She lives on Long Island. Has been sick about 12-13 years. All the usual sx that may indicate tickborne diseases: sweats, fevers, electric feeling shocks, insomnia, depression, fatigue, now losing feeling in pinkie fingers on both hands, severe stiffness.
She has already been tested for "everything" by non-LLMD's and they have found NOTHING....usual story.
The reason it's extra urgent to find an LLMD to check for Lyme/Babs, Bart asap, is that she's in the process of selling her house and moving back to Sweden where she's originally from. She's already sent her children to live with her grandparents in Sweden and so it's like on the "eve" of her leaving, it dawns on her it might be Lyme disease and so it is urgent she gets in with a good LLMD pronto, before her house is sold and all her posessions in the USA and she has nowhere to stay or she would have to fly back to the states maybe as soon as she gets back to Sweden......so it would be perhaps more than she can physically handle (schlepping back and forth across the atlantic so soon) and costly.
SO, PLEASE. MY LLMD AS FAR AS I KNOW IS NOT TAKING NEW PATIENTS, DR H IN NY. THEREFORE, AS I'M OUT OF THE LOOP THESE DAYS; PLEASE GIVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 'THE BEST' LLMDS IN NY, CT, AND NJ ASAP. SHE IS WILLING AND ABLE TO GO 'TOMORROW' IF POSSIBLE.
