Lyme Disease Support Group

Does anyone know any Lyme Disease doctors in the Illinois, Virginia/Washington, DC, or Minnesota areas? I have been extremely sick with aches, pains, stinging and itching skin, muscle and nerve pain, fatigue, feeling toxic and just plain miserable for so long I cannot remember when I did not feel this way. Please help. I have no strength to fight back but I know I need to find help or else this is going to be my life from now on.

I am located in the Chicago area so Illinois is my first choice, but I have relatives in the Virginia/Washington, DC area - that could be another possibility. Even Minnesota is an option at this point.

I hope to be under the care of a doctor who is experienced with Lyme Disease because all the doctors that I have seen so far do not have a clue. I have been going from doctor to doctor with no results, no diagnosis, no treatment - getting worse and worse.

Maybe someone in this group can provide information to help me. I don't know what else to do.

Thank you.

i sent you on jan. 25, 2011 llmds for illinois/s. wisc. in yoru private messages; did you call them?

also i give out ONE STATE ONLY unless there are just a few there and then will add 1 more state MAX.

please post in LLMD REQUEST FORUM and show ILLINOIS/S. WISC. in subject heading; then you'll hear from those members in that area.

support posts get BURIED FAST ESPECIALLY with those showing NO STATE NAME in their post.
