Chronic lyme here, nearly 14 years. I live in MD near the beaches and would really like to find a LLMD in MD since motion sickness and vertigo are symptoms that come and go. (But a doctor in DE, VA or PA might work).
Was diagnosed in 2008 by a LLMD in VA but he's now retired (my bloodwork is always negative, but I had a tick bite and purple bullseye thing in 2003). A neurologist told me in 2009 that it was too late to treat with abx--I didn't go back to her.
Haven't done much in the way of treatment over the years because the lyme has been in remission/dormant.
Freaking out now because am having all kinds of fun things happening in my body and am not sure where I should start treatment so I really need a good doc. My primary care doctor is mostly useless and sometimes hateful; he doesn't believe in chronic lyme and basically laughs in my face whenever I mention it.
If anyone knows of a good doc relatively close [no more than a few hundred miles] to Maryland's beaches, please let me know! I've been told repeatedly to go to Hopkins in Baltimore, but I've seen several doctors there [gastro and allergist] and they were not helpful.
Thanks!
