Hi Susan!
Welcome to our community! Congratulations on finding out what has really been going on all these years! At least now, as you said, your healing journey can start!!
For information on finding a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor(LLMD) in your area, you can start a new thread titled something like:"Looking for LLMD/LLND in the _______ area." We don't allow doctor's names and contact info to be posted on the forum for several reasons, so this information will have to be shared by private emails.
You can email Stephanie at:
stephanie@turnthecorner.org You can also go to:
www.turnthecorner.org/ if you want to learn a little bit more about
Lyme Disease.
You can also go to The Lyme Disease Association and search for LLMD's 3 times in a month. You have to register first. Here is the link:

The ILADS site is another great place to read to get you started on your Lyme journey.
