Minnesota LLMD recommendations?

Hi everyone,

I am new to the group. I have received a list of LLMD in MN from ILADS and TBDA (formerly Turning the Corner) but am looking for any other recommendations, specifically if anyone has had a good experience with a particular LLMD in MN.

History: I am a 37 year old female who, aside from a broken ankle at age 16, was perfectly healthy until 2009. I had two minor surgeries to remove fibroids in 2009 and was also bitten by a tick in the back of my head, which I did not find until the next day after having been for a walk in the woods with my dogs. I was tested for LD (well, screened with ELISA screening) three times in 2009 and 2010 but all came back negative.

Have been dealing with debilitating fatigue, headaches, low-grade fevers, flu-like sx, low blood pressure, dizziness, TMJ, knee clicking/stiffness, vision issues since 2009. Was dx with CFS and FM in 2012 by CFS/FM specialist in NC. Some recent developments have me wondering about the Western Blot my CFS specialist ran in 2012 (through LabCorp). It had one positive IGM band (23), which I recently learned is supposed to be Lyme-specific. He said the WB was negative and I didn't question it at the time but now I am.

Thank you for this wonderful resource and any insights/recommendations!

Hello ladies,

I was just diagnosed with this scary disease and am desperate for resources. I live in Minnesota and would really appreciate any guidance in this process or dr. recommendations. I am 48 years old (female) and most of my symptoms are pain/paralysis related. I did not know having this disease would be such a difficult process... even to find someone just to go see seems to be nearly impossible!
