Chronic lyme disease treatment - need IV abx in Bangkok

[PoisonedinBKK]

To keep it short, i've been diagnosed with chronic lyme's disease, possibly neuroborreliosis and am very likely infected with another tick-borne infection called bartonella (still waiting for PCR, serology and blot results).
My rockstar prof. LLMD has prescribed a 12-weeks intravenous antibiotics course of ceftriaxone and azithromycin. The treatment is based on my results and the ILADS-guidelines for lymes.

I want to have the treatment in Bangkok so does anyone know of a doctor or clinic that might be willing to administer the abx? (Except samitivej, the infectious disease specialist there is extremely illterate on lyme disease, american board certified lol).

As there is not thought to be Lyme disease in Thailand indeed most of the doctors are not familiar with it.

I suggest you try Dr. Nick Walters at Mission Hospital, he is an American MD licensed to practice in Thailand. Be sure to have with you detailed records from home.

Thanks, i'll contact dr. Walters.

The doc. doesn't really have to be lyme-literate, i'm already under the care of a LLMD in Belgium so i just need someone who's willing to administer my LLMD's treatment plan based on the ILADS guidelines. If they are allowed to do stemcell therapy in Thailand then i'm sure some doc. will be willing to help me out with the abx.

There are loads of people who have contracted lyme disease in Thailand after a bite. Borrelia and co-infections are not only carried by ticks but also other insects. Besides borrelia burgdorferi there are loads of other sub-species still being discovered by researchers, which antibodies are not recognized by the standard ELISA and western blot.

The CDC / IDSA guidelines for lyme are totally wrong.

If you need real information about late stage lyme please go to http://ilads.org/

and watch the documentary "under our skin" while you're at it.
