Finding a Lyme-literate Doctor (LLD) 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 to find the group nearest to you. Another resource is the “Doctor Referral” program at 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. A comprehensive list of some of the best LLD's in the country: Marylynn S.
