I have suspicion that I have contracted lyme disease after a tick bite 2 summers ago. I took a dose of doxycycline after the bite, and didn't do anything further as I thought as long as I didn't get a rash, I was ok.

I suffer from palpitations, and lately have been getting horrible anxiety, twitching muscles, jerky movements, brain fog, feel weak and tired, stiff neck, pain under my left arm on my ribs. I am very sensitive to noise lately too. After all this reading about lyme I almost convinced I have it. I had a blood test done yesterday, but am not confident in the results I will get.

Please help

What lab did your blood work? The best one is Igenex and get the Western Blot for $200.

if you are on Long Island (as I am) - use stonybrook labs first, it is second best, and takes insurance. I have tons of info - my dr is in nyc ( I live in Nassau county) - email me!! (your email is not available.)

Hi Stoked,
Welcome to our community!! I'm so very sorry for what you have been through, but it's quite common for a Lyme patient.

If you haven't yet, please do read through our "New to Lyme? Start here!" thread that sits at the top of the forum. It's packed full of important information, detoxing suggestions, symptom lists and so much more.


For information on finding a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor(LLMD) in your area, you will need to enable your email option in your profile in order to receive any recommendations, as we don't allow doctor's names and contact info to be posted on the forum for several reasons. You can enable your email option in your profile, under 'edit profile'. Be sure to click the submit button to actually save your preference.

​You can send me an email by clicking on my screen name or the small blue envelop under my screen name. I have contact information for some LLMD's in your area as well.​ ​Please include your state and area that you would like to find a LLMD in and I will see how close I can get.​


You can email Stephanie at: stephanie@turnthecorner.org You can also go to: www.turnthecorner.org/ 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 can also now email TBDA (Tick Borne Disease Alliance) at medicalinfo@tbdalliance.org​
​ and ask for LLMD referrals also.
​

You will want to find an ILADS (International Lyme And Associated Diseases Society) trained doctor, as ID Docs (Infectious Disease Doctors) believe Lyme is hard to catch and easy to treat, and don't believe in the reality of chronic Lyme. Go to the ILADS site to read the new (2014) Treatment guidelines to get you started on your Lyme journey.www.ilads.org/lyme/ILADS_Guidelines.pdf
