So I can't find any LLMD's covered by BCBS-NC so I guess I will have to pay out of pocket. Can anyone tell me about how much a visit is and how much any testing/herbal remedies will cost? Or what can I do on my own?
My history: diagnosed with Lyme 7 years ago at age 38 (bands 23,41). Took abx and thought I was fine. Over the years I have had major fatigue, brain fog, headaches, struggled to find words, and bouts of feeling like I am getting sick but never getting a fever-thought I was just getting old. Recently I got very sick, super abnormal fatigue and major body aches, just like first time I had lyme-no fever, no rash. Doc ran IgM test through Labcorp but came back negative. I know how elusive lyme is so I suspect lyme as did my doc who has me on 21 days of doxy.
Pretty sure I herxed after starting doxy but feeling much better now, about 2 weeks in. I still want to see an LLMD as I am worried once abx course is done I will go back to sick. I still have some fatigue and a little aching at times, more in my back. I am worried about the cost though being insurance won't be covering it.
