LLMD list?

January 13, 2008

Does anyone know where to find a list of LLMDs? The only one I know of

is the LDA list, and they only let you look up 3 per month, and

personally I find it to be a really crappy and confusing system. I

need to be able to look up different kinds of specialists in different

states as I am willing to travel to find different treatment options

and pricing. Looking up " Lyme doctors " online is obviously a waste as

it mostly takes you to IDSA docs. In reading boards like this I have

found some LLMDs, but I feel I'm probably missing some.

I simply don't understand why it's so secretive. Who are they hiding

from? The LDA seems to think they are being harrassed--but aren't the

harassers aware of who all the docs are anyway? And since those

harassers are part of the medical/insurance complex and have offices,

they can easily do multiple searches on that list from multiple

computers--so I don't see the point of the secrecy. Can I get a list

from ILADS? Or Igenex? I don't care if they're technically ILADS

members as long as they're on the same wavelength.

Well, I gather you are looking for a doctor and are feeling frustrated due

to the difficulty of it due to " the secrecy " , but know that many people have

emotional pain from watching their doc quit due to harassment or watching their

doc lose his/her license for no real reason other than treating people with

lyme. Thus, its an emotional thing and people feel the need to protect

their docs. My kid's pediatrician, who is also an Infectious Disease Doc,

stated

he would not even test my son, even though he had a rash. He said he did

not want to lose his license Thus, know that there is a real problem, and

people are struggling with their lives. There is much feeling towards a need

to

do all we can to protect the very few, brave docs left who will treat people

with lyme. I read weekly of people complaining about their docs moving out

of state, no longer seeing people with lyme, or flat out refusing to see them

again because they might now have lyme. Thus, have patience with us; this

whole situation is very difficult.
