Hi everyone,
While my CFS doctor has been able to treat some of the Lyme symptoms I have endured, my overall condition keeps worsening. I seem to have all the right markers for both ME/CFS and a positive ellispot (and CDC) Lyme test from Igenex. I just keep sinking further down, and I'm getting quite scared of the consequences.
My doctor suggests that I should follow up with a Lyme-literate doctor, but doesn't have any recommendations other than Dr. Raxlen, who obviously doesn't take insurance.
I would appreciate it if I could have some recommendations for Lyme specialists in the NYC area that could help me improve. I know that most Lyme specialists don't take insurance due to the lovely mess that the IDSA made with their guidelines. I do not have a lot of money, but I will have to bite the bullet, even if it involves getting less visits, carefully dosing the prescriptions, i just don't know what I'm going to do. I know I just have to follow up with a Lyme specialist since I keep getting worse and sinking further down every day.
Any thoughts, suggestions or advice are really appreciated.
(PS: feel free to message me directly if you prefer so)
