Finding a Lyme-literate Doctor (LLD)

The first and best way to find a LLD is to get a personal recommendation

from your local Lyme Support Group. If you don't know of any support group,

visit _www.lymenet.org_ (http://www.lymenet.org/) to find the group

nearest to you.

Another resource is the “Doctor Referral†program at

_www.lymediseaseassociation.org_ (http://www.lymediseaseassociation.org/) -

but you must

register first, and then you may search for only 3 contacts at a time.

However,

the list is nationwide.

If you prefer working with your primary care doctor, you should be

prepared to assist him/her with medical research. There are some very

professional

and helpful treatment papers available:

" Advanced Topics in Lyme Disease: Diagnostic Hints and Treatment

Guidelines for Lyme and other Tick Borne Illnesses " by Dr. Joseph J.

Burrascano, who

wrote the first version in 1984 - this is the 15th edition and includes

all of the latest testing procedures. This is a great paper to share with

friends and family to better understand the complicated disease. _Download
