I went to Dr V 5/09 with complete medical information showing Lymes Disease (confirmed by blood work-3yrs before and all classic symtoms)and a Fibromyagia diagnosis. I asked Dr V for a follow up Lymes blood test...I was in such poor condition I wondered if the Lymes was back. He spent approx a 15 minute exam and said that I didn't appear to have Lymes symtoms and that really wasn't his field (I thought at the time how would he know then). His quick diagnosis was Fibro & Depression. My local doctor was amazed that he did not go into the Lymes (which is why she sent me). I responded so well to steriods they have now ruled out Fibro. Anyway, recent testing have shown stage 3 Lymes-positive blood work, MRI shows brain lesions and small nodule, muscle/joint pain, brain fog, confusion, irregular gate/unsteady, fatigue, etc. Suspect all is from the Lymes. I am writing this in hopes Dr V will think "outside" the box with future hurting patients who were at their wits end tying to find help for an extrememly painful disease. My eldest daughter went with me as we live 2hours away. We were both upset with the lack o f compassion and care.
