Our list is in development. You could drive yourself nuts trying to read everything out there about Lyme. We’ll cut through the noise to provide you with the best, up-to-date info.

Here’s a good place to start:

ILADS Brochures – to read online or download.

Finding a Lyme-literate Doctor

Your best bet is to join a state Lyme support group. Because doctors fear losing their medical licenses if medical licensing boards find out they’re treating too many patients for Lyme, they prefer not to have their names on public lists.  So it’s the convention on most online support groups to use a doctor’s last name initial.  However, group members will email you full names if you post a generic request in forums or on message boards.
