Finding a Lyme-literate Doctor (LLD)

[Guest guest]

I don't know where you need a LLD, but I found my doctor from the ILADS website,

Deborah Metzger, MD, Ph.D. in Los Altos, California. ILADS stands for

International Lyme and its Associated Disorders (there always are co-infections

in my opinion) My husband and I both see her and she is wonderful. She does

complimentary medicine and will try most anything you like. What a refreshing

change. I've been so happy with our treatment.

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

 

 

here._ (http://www.lymediseaseassociation.org/BurrGuide200509.pdf)
