Default getting tested for Lyme's disease

Hi,
When you say there are three practitioners in WA; how do you find these names?

Thank you

MDL (lab) on the east coast is very clear on this. Make sure a frozen gel pack is included with the kit.

If suffering from migraines and/or sweating or no sweat, test for Babesia species from your location.

The most often noticed clue is the mysterious multi system illness that has some parts of many different diagnosis, but not a single complete and singular disease.

It sounds overwhelming, but a doctor familiar with Lyme Disease would be able to spot the cause very quickly. There are three practitioners in Washington and many in California. Worth the flight. Generally, about four to five months for a perceived change and one year from start of full treatment, a significant improvement. No guarantees but too many have had the same experiences to ignore.

Best wishes for a good New Year.
