Send specifics. Some Lyme tests like the ELISA are worthless. Need to be tested by a "Lyme doc."
I am a family doctor in Germantown Maryland. I have been treating Lyme for several years and have treated between 500 and 1000 patients. I am learning all the time. I don't claim to have all the answers. I answer questions because I want to help people. Everything about this disease is controversial. I want to write a book which will be a patient guide to Lyme, so questions from patients are helpful to me.

sweetheart, pm me, I can help you find a lyme friendly doctor. infectious disease docs are usually some of the worst to treat lyme. not all of them, but it's generally the case.
Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.

please pm me with any special concerns
