 Hey. I am recently diagnosed and have been placed on Dioxy. I was hoping you could point me in the right direction with a LLMD. I live in Saratoga Springs, NY. Where I live is just being hit with the Lyme epidemic. I have little faith in the knowledge of MD's here. I know this because I am a Pharma rep and in conversations with IM and GFP, they are still learning about it. I am looking to you to give me some insight.

I am just diagnosed. I have experienced numbness in my arms and legs before and after the abx. I am experiencing more stiffness. I believe it is Herxing but I would like more insight on what to expect.

I appreciate all and anything you can do. Thanx so much. It has been so helpful to hear the feedback from the others. Take care

I also wanted to ask you about your children and pregnancy if you that is ok

I was recently diagonosed and couldnt be more happy. Things seem like they are heading in the right direction.

 You can PM Jamie for a list of LLMDs. You will find her under group leaders.

Good luck, Denise

 Hello rigley,

Of course it's okay to ask about pregnancy and lyme. There are several threads on this site already regarding that subject. You can go up to right hand of screen and type in pregnancy next to search.

I had three children while I was infected. My children are aok, so far. They are 10, 8 and 4. ( I was misdiagnosed for over ten years).

PM Jaime and she will help you find an LLMD in your area. Congratulations on your diagnosis. That sounds crazy, but knowing what you have is half the battle.

Peace,

Connie

Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.

Open your mind to the possibilities available to you.

An attitude of gratitude is good 'medicine,' too.
