Dear Robyn,

Don't waste your time unless you know someone who knows a good rheumatologist

with a proven track record for being Lyme literate. I think there is one in

California.

The reason I asked about the Rhuemy was, On my way into the ENT office today

I saw the doctor's office next to him had a sign outside with the doctors

name and whats she treats, it said Lupus, and fibromyalgia. So I thought hmm,

Could it be possible she treats Lyme too and just doesn't advertise? So I

went an asked. They said she does treat Lyme, now how much treatment and

knowledge she has, I don't know but I guess I'll find out when I go there

Sept 11th.

Everyone keeps telling me there is no doctor in South Carolina who

understands Lyme but I figure, if they're not advertising it for reasons we

all know and noone thinks there's anyone here if we don't look how will we

ever really know?... So i thought i'd write and ask opinions on what

experiences people had with rheumy's... Thanks

Robyn,

A Rheumatologist prescribed my IV Rocephin and was the best Lyme Dr. I had. So,

not ALL Rheumatologists are bad. He's in OK if that helps any.

The <<Don't waste your time one>>>>>.

I can't emphasize enough it's not the title, its the Drs. knowledge,

expertise, and participation in Lyme Disease awareness and

research.............who cares if they are a Rheumatologist, an Internist, a

Neurologist, a Psychologist, an Alternative MD, a Chiropractor, or General

Practitioner...............................................................

If they can treat with what appears to be the appropriate protocol that is

working for you, and you are getting better, than that's what counts.

I have the best Rheumatologist in the NJ................and I will stand

behind her 100%.
