Welcome to Lyme Disease Awareness Day 10! There is still so much that I have to say about Lyme disease, so please continue to follow and subscribe and like, because this information is so important to know!
So, many doctors will refuse to test a patient for Lyme disease for various reasons. One of these is location.
Don’t ever let a doctor tell you that you can’t have Lyme because of your location!
β‘ Lyme disease has been reported in ALL 50 states and 6 continents.
β‘ So unless you live Antarctica, Lyme disease is always a possibility! NO one is immune from Lyme because of their location.
β‘ If your doctor refuses to test you, it’s time to find a new, Lyme-literate doctor (an LLMD).
I recommend looking for Lyme Disease groups on facebook for your area. They will be able to find a doctor for you!
Tomorrow I am revealing another reason why some doctors will refuse to test for lyme.
