Lol! Bottom line, he has been treating me for Lyme disease for the past two months and he is more knowledgeable on Lyme than and other doctor I have seen. I think he's fantastic. Please check out my post ( which was meant for you!) and if you want more info or have questions about how he treats his patients, please feel free to contact me at laurietietjen@aol.com. Best of luck to you! I hope you're doing better.

I am 22 years old from MA. I started having symptoms that in my opinion all point to lyme but I just wanted to get some other peoples opinion. It all started in august this year. I was drinking at my friends house and the next morning I woke up and i was in a bit of a daze all day. it was like my brain was in a fog. I figured it had something to do with the alcohol even though I hadn't drank that much. that lasted for about a week and was accompanied by extreme fatigue and I could not fall asleep at night. I went to the doctor about 6 days after and he gave me a prescription for doxycycline. The symptoms went away two days later so I figured they just went away on their own. the prescription was for 2 weeks but I went on vacation a week into it and forgot the medication at home. I was fine for about a few weeks after that and then it started up again. I had numbness in my arms as well as fatigue and problems sleeping again. I also had joint pain in my fingers on my left hand as well as headaches. Eventually it went away just to come back a few weeks later. At that point I was home from school for vacation and went back to the doctor. I got another prescription for 3 weeks of doxycycline again. Since completing that prescription I have been cycling between feeling ok and sick. I've had all those same symptoms and recently my left knee has swollen up under the kneecap for no apparent reason. The other day I was just walking back from class and my chest started to hurt. since then I have had mild chest pain and lower and upper back pain usually right on either side of my spine. My heartbeat has also been going wild for no apparent reason as well. My doctor says that I can not have lyme because he already treated me for it but from what I have read it seems like 3 weeks of medication is not enough. I have had a western blot test taken and I had two bands but apparently 5 are needed to be diagnosed with lyme. I have an appointment with a LLMD on January 28th but I guess I was just wondering what I can do until then. Is detoxing something I can do even though I'm not positive I have lyme? Thanks for any insight you have, Happy Holidays!
