Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Kristen, I don't have any info about Mayo's lyme treatment but I would recommend that your sister find a lyme-literate md(llmd). They often don't accept insurance, but some insurance companies will reimburse some of the appointment. A llmd can suggest many treatment options along with/besides antibiotics, and tend to be the most knowledgable when it comes to lyme or it's co-infections. I don't know the name of the site, but if you search around a little on the internet you should be able to find a site that will locate a llmd in her area.
Take care, Diana
