New guidelines and treatment - a question

[Guest guest]

Is it true that according to the new guidelines, a person with Lyme

disease can only be treated by an Infectious disease doctor??? What

about my LLMD who is a rheumatologist -will she be barred from

treating all her Lyme patients???

Yes and no. Will your doctor be barred from treating lyme, not if the Lyme

community has anything to say about it and believe me they do. Why not ask

you doctor what he/she thinks?
