1-800-886-LYME for info and doctor recommendations. You are never alone in this.

I don't believe Jeanette is running the group any longer, she's too ill herself. WI. folks can e-mail me [click on my profile] or go to www.sewill.org

I was wondering how you are doing now and if you would recommend this doctor. If so, what is his name? Does he have you on a variety of antibiotics? Any probiotics like asidophilus to protect your stomach? Does he seem to have much experience. I just got diagnosed and am looking for a good doctor near or around Madison or even Chicago or Milwaukee.

Thanks.

I live near Madison and was just diagnosed with LD after a year of severe joint pain and numerous other problems. I found a doctor named Dr. M. in Fond du Lac that uses the IGeneX lab (which is a really good sign). I haven't seen him yet but a friend of mine was really sick with LD for over a year and he was able to really help her. She is completely weel now. She had seen lots of specialists at the UW and had no relief. Dr. M. was very thorough and knew about treatments, coinfections, uses of probiotics and supplements etc. He describes himself as a LD specialist. He is hard to get into to see but I was able to schedule an appointment with his PA G. in mid June. Send me or Nadina a private message for his number. I hope he is able to help both of us!! I have some doctor referral requests in to several LD associations and will let you know if I hear of any other good doctors.

I have probably had LD for several years. I just started docycicline today along with probiotics. I got them from my rheumatologist but she doesn't really know much about LD. I really hope that your treatment goes better but if it doesn't, you might want to check out Dr. M. who I mentioned in my last post. I'll let you know how I do when I start seeing him in June.

Heres hoping for good health!

I learned after posting this that I was not supposed to post contact info for doctors or anyone. Is there anyway to delete the post? I tried but it didn't work. Sorry!
