Seeking a LLMD near Winchester or Leesburg, VA or Hagerstow or Frederick, MD.

Had a deer tick on my neck 2007 - given 3 weeks of doxy. Have had odd things pop up in the past several years - bad gastro-intestial bouts (REALLY sick for 10 days in 2009), chronic ear issues, dry eyes, frequent headaches and for the past month muscle and joint issues along with fatigue, dizziness as well as muscle spasms, tingling in face, etc...

Titers came back negative 3 weeks ago, although blood work was very high for RA and IgA antibodies. Told by a rheumatologist that I don't have RA. Followed up with a neurologist. Will be getting a MRI to rule out MS.

Thank you.

welcome kelly,

check your private messages left side for virginia/dc llmds.

also, be sure to look over my welcome letter sent by pm earlier; towards the bottom is a link about MRI SCANS OF MS/LYME patients; NEARLY IDENTICAL.

you need a LYME LITERATE radiologist to read these CORRECTLY!!
