hi rebecca lynn, I'm new to this kind of communcication. Ihope this info helps. I live in Tennessee and I have lyme and coinfections(babesia, erhlichia, bartonella) plus I had two viruses as a result of compromised immune syste. I was misdiagnosed for the last 10 years. My doctors dismissed my symptoms and referred me to a psychiatrist. You can just imagine my frustration. Just when I was feeling pretty helpless, fate matched us to a doctor in Atlanta ,GA. He is an MD who has an alternative clinic. He has treated hundreds of lyme disease patients with great success. I am one of the successes. It took about 8 months to begin to reclaim my life, but it was worth it! I am feeling so much better! I have discontinued all of my prescription medicine including pain pills! It may seem a little awkward to take the alternative route, but I read a lot of books and I did a lot of research on the internet and found that conventional medicine did not have the success rate that I was looking for.(I also did not want to risk infection with an IV antibiotic...our bodies are infected enough.. I'm sure you can identify.) My husband and I made the 3.5 hour trip many times over the summer and it was worth it! Good luck and good health. If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them. sincerely, lymie(I did not know of a good username, I may change it in the future).

Open your mind to the possibilities available to you.
An attitude of gratitude is good 'medicine,' too.

"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunnyfly)
