[sorry i'm in uk but i don't know what a LLMD is? How did you manage to get tested for those things? I'm in hertfordshire and would love to find an interested doctor who'd run a few tests.
Hi Coxy, sorry I didn't get back to you before now, I was totally wiped out yesterday.
An LLMD is a Lyme literate doctor, I have Lyme disease and see him privately, it is the only way in the UK to get treatment.
My GP has previously offered no testing at all and is only interested in body mass index, I suppose blaming me for gaining weight since illness is the norm these days, as though all I have to do is lose a few pounds and miraculously all bacteria and virus in my body will vanish.
Anyway recently my Lyme doctor said I should be able get all of my testing for liver function etc done on the NHS which should save me a few pounds (with the medication I am on these should be tested every 3 weeks) I have had none of these tests until now, I couldn't afford to pay for tests as well as treatment.
The Lyme doctor wrote to my GP and told her what tests to do and to my surprise she called me to go in and have them.
Now she wants to see me to discuss my cholesterol, for some reason she is able to totally ignore Lyme diseas, M.E, possible Retrovirus and everything else, sorry I am rambling now, time to go back to bed I think.
You are in luck however, the Breakspeare clinic is in Hertfordshire I think it is Hemel Hempstead there is a well known professor there who specialised in both M.E and Lyme disease, I haven't been there myself but I am told they are very good at tailoring testing and treatment to your budget and they will advice your GP on how to treat too.
Best wishes
