Hi bumblesunshine,

Here is more information to help you find a good doctor. Make sure that the doctor you go to is Lyme Literate and is associated with ILADS. they will know more about this disease and how to treat it.

For information on finding a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor(LLMD) in your area, please email our long time member, Dan's Mother at:

If you'd like more doctor suggestions, you can email stephanie at: stephanie@turnthecorner.org You can also go to: www.turnthecorner.org/bod.htm if you want to learn a little bit more about Lyme Disease.

You can also go to The Lyme Disease Association and search for LLMD's 3 times in a month. You have to register first. Here is the link: www.lymediseaseassociation.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=277&Itemid=74

You will want to find an ILADS(International Lyme And Associated Diseases Society) doctor. The ILADS site is a great place to read to get you started on your Lyme journey. www.ilads.org/lyme_disease/treatment_guidelines_clearing_ilads.html

I drive from NC to see Dr.J in Washington D.C., it's well worth it. I was there a few days ago, and the wait list to have an appointment with him was completely full for the next 4 months. However, you have the option to see a nurse practitioner instead (which, obviously, costs less too). -DO IT! She is extremely intelligent and thorough, she L-I-S-T-E-N-S to what you have to say, and runs everything by Dr. J. Also, he still comes into the room to meet with you and to go everything.

Good Luck, I hope you find the road to healing soon.
