How is an LLMD different from an ID doctor?

"I’m a little puzzeled about this...... The daughter of one of my co-workers was diagnosed with lyme disease some time ago, and that’s the first time I ever heard of this condition. Is it treatable? Can it be fatale? How serious is it? Now that I see even a support group, I’m really intreegued and I’d like some more info. Thanks."
