Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Well I took Bethany to the lyme dr. yesterday. Her last appointment was in November. All the tests he ran... lupus.. white cell count... and on and on and on came out normal or negative. Oh there's something wrong with her liver... Did I fail to mention that he ran no LYME tests~!!!!!!!! So off to the hospital we went for more blood work~!!! I made an appointment with Dr. in New Haven~! He got all flustered when I asked him if it could be co-infections? He said ahhh now your getting deep!! Well #$%^ & ^ DUH!!!!!!! I hate Doctors!!!!! Her appointment isn't until march 11th Im going to see if I can have her psych doc call and get her in sooner! thanks for listening to me complain! Dawn Re: [ ] Help please! Dear Dawn, One suggestion is to find a local doctor who is willing to treat her with directions from a good LLMD like the one in Boston (if there is one) and do it that way. It would help if you could see the LLMD once and then continue her treatment with a local doctor if you could find one open minded enough to follow directions from the LLMD. Some doctors are willing but just don't know enough about it. Another positive outlook is you would " create " an LLMD in your area. Check out http://support.lymenet.org/ for a support group near you and see what doctors they recommend. I am in PA but still drive quite a distance to see an LLMD.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Dawn, I'm sorry you're running the gauntlet like most of us have. I'm glad your daughter doesn't have Lupus although sometimes I wonder if Lyme is so much better... anyway... I'm glad your daughter will be seeing Dr. even if it is not for a while... If you want to start her on antibiotics now, you can if you're willing to buy them overseas. I do this for my dog (I have coverage and a good LLMD to prescribe MY meds, my doggie is not so lucky). Email me if you want the info on who I order from. I have no business link with them of course. Complain away, but you can act while you do it. Jen Well I took Bethany to the lyme dr. yesterday.
