Reply to comment by alpha417 in Need Help with Lyme Disease by cathar_here

I have been struggling with finding an infectious disease doctor in texas that will take me on as a patient, funny thing is in Texas, they can just refuse to see me, and I have been referred t 6 different ID doctors and all 6 of them have refused to take me on as a patient. There are less than 100 lyme disease cases in Texas a year, or somerhing like that, and no one down here wants to mess with me.

Maybe reach out to this org? They might have some leads for you, or possibly someone in one of the listed support groups would know who to contact.

yep, filled out the contact us about 10 days ago on that site, and I haven't heard back from anyone yet, but I filled it out again just to see if maybe something went wrong the first time

I appreciate the help and hoping things turn around, or I'll get to spend my first winter back in Maine in over 10 year haha

Head north... skip Texas and their stupid anti-people laws. Alligators there have more fights to medical treatment than humans do.

My Dad has latent Lyme Disease which means that he can’t get rid of it. Is no joke. He uses green walnut husk extract and turmeric for herbal remedies and had to go on antibiotics. Also if your looking for a doctor that treats lyme all the time look one up in Long Island New York. It’s been there for a long time and before they had a name for it the locals call it the montauk knee.
