Thanks, girls! I do think I will just work with the LLMD on this, and then if I can obtain proof of the LD, then I'll make sure my current PCP hears about it, for sure. I want to write something up using Julie's husband's letter as a solid reference,... that was a GREAT letter. I am going to be looking at changing my PCP now, too,... I feel too much animosity for them now. Unfortunately, I may be faced with the new one thinking I'm nuts, too, though because my ins. IS their own doctors and hospitals, and your health records are in a computer network so that whenever you see another MD in the network, they can have your history at their fingertips..... which is great,... until one of them makes note that they think you're nuts for thinking you may have Lyme. So, I'm prepared for that... hopefully, they won't have made any notes, but I know they did authorize the titer so it's probably obvious in my chart now. Whatever........ We're going to be looking at other ins companies now anyway for our business. We renew in January so this is the perfect time to start looking at other options. I looked up in the current ins. directory last night though and found an ID I am curious to call and just ask them what their stand is on Lyme........ just to see what they say. I suspect it will be about the same as the others,.. which will just reaffirm us wanting to get away from this 'group'. The LLMD I'm starting with is going to run the western blot and all the others for Lyme and co-infections, also the CD57, and all through Igenex so I'll be in good hands for the testing... it's just with my ins turning their back on me, it's now going to cost me between $300-$500 just for the labs, depending on how many he thinks we need to do. He said he'll want to do the confirmation test, too, if I come back equivical. I will keep you posted! (((hugs))) I'm F.I.N.E. Frustrated, Irritated, Nonfunctional & Everything hurts!!

"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....
