  Sarah W. asked:

  I need help finding a rheumatologist in the Western Mass area. I was treated by Dr. Donta for chronic Lymes after nearly dying in 1994 for Lyme Carditis. I removed a tick about 10 weeks ago and am now displaying bursitis in my left hip and right knee as well as tendonitis in my left elbow (all within the past 3 weeks). Blood work taken Thursday and referred to rheumatologist who does not take my insurance. Suggestions desperately needed!!!!! Thank you!!!!

  New Lyme center opening at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital - The Dean Center for Tick Borne Illness assisting those with chronic issues resulting from Lyme. The organization is recognizing this as "Post Lyme Syndrome" not "Chronic Lyme". Be willing to let go of the label in order to be recognized as a legitimate chronic illness patient...

  Robb I. asked:

  I am thinking of looking elsewhere than Denver for medical assistance. I need a Spinal/ Neurological surgeon and I cannot find one in Denver to take on the challenge of my rare degenerative spinal condition. If you know a renowned surgeon that might be up for the challenge please let me know. Even with the morphine I can hardly deal with pain. So the sooner the better please.

  I have no idea ... I don't work in a medical profession. In Boston, you could try to get a referral to Massachusetts General or Spaulding Rehabilitation. I'm sorry I can't be more help.http://www.spauldingrehab.org/

  R3NTAR asked:

  Need recommendations for a chiropractor and/or physical therapy location. How's Boston Backworks? Does anyone have a favorite who they would actually go out of their way to recommend? I find that too many chiropractors / PTs are just in it for the money - they don't really dedicate themselves to getting you better because then they lose business. Anyone have an experience where they actually did tests to try and determine your pain - and also gave you recommendations for pain relief outside of their office? *I want to feel healthy again...* (FYI, this is for chronic lower back pain and musclt tightness)

  I don't know if this will be a match for your needs - but i had to undergo a few months of PT and did so with Spaulding - http://www.spauldingrehab.org It was hard work, and I had to coax myself to go a few times... however they helped me tremendously and I really felt that my therapist had *MY* best interests in mind. We set a few goals for the PT and when those goals were met, we were done. The entire experience never felt like any sort of business transaction (ie- they wanted me better, and were not interested in keeping me coming back perpetually). I hope this helps!
