Re: Need your help please
Hey Ron.,..from a 2000 study about the best Lyme Disease Doctors. The one in Westchester, Dr. Robert Nadelman (914-493-8865), was on a research team that was trying to find out what to do about the *stuborn* cases where anti-biotics did not work.
"Ask five different doctors to describe Lyme disease, and you'll get five different answers. Often called the "Great Imitator," and commonly associated with up to 100 different symptoms, Lyme disease is a multistage bacterial infection, transmitted by deer ticks, that first results in flulike symptoms, joint pain, and fatigue. If you're fortunate enough to realize you've been infected -- more than 70 percent of its victims don't even know they've been bitten -- the disease is readily treatable with antibiotics. Absent treatment, the infection can lie dormant before returning in the form of late-stage symptoms such as neurological disorders, heart irregularities, and, most often, swollen knees or migrating joint pain. If the disease reaches this late stage undetected, it can be very difficult to treat. Currently, a fierce medical debate is raging over the merits of long-term treatment. While most doctors say that a 30- to 60-day course of antibiotics is sufficient to kill the infection, others insist that long-term antibiotic treatment is often necessary. Most infectious-disease specialists are concerned that extensive treatment is potentially dangerous, and are awaiting the results of current studies-in-progress. Manhattan infectious-disease doctors who specialize in Lyme disease are Laura Fisher, director of the Lyme Disease Center at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center (212-746-1771), and Christopher Busillo (212-238-0102) and Chester Lerner (212-238-0106) at New York University Downtown Hospital. In Westchester: Robert Nadelman (914-493-8865) and Gary Wormser (914-493-8865) at Westchester Medical Center. In Nassau: Eileen Hilton (516-470-6900), director of the Lyme Disease Diagnostic and Treatment Center, and Sunil K. Sood (718-470-3480) at Long Island Jewish Medical Center. In Connecticut: Eugene Shapiro at Yale-New Haven Hospital (203-688-4518) and Debra Adler-Klein at Stamford Hospital (203-325-0146). Two internists with particular expertise in treating the illness are Bruce Logan at Manhattan's New York University Downtown Hospital (212-608-6634) and Raymond Dattwyler at U Hospital, Stony Brook, in Suffolk (631-444-8364). In addition to infectious-disease specialists, many rheumatologists who treat patients suffering from arthritic conditions have become adept at recognizing the illness. Among the best are Thomas Argyros, director of the Lyme Disease Center at Lennox Hill Hospital (212-988-7680); in New Jersey: Leonard Sigal at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (732-235-7210); in Connecticut: Robert T. Schoen at Yale-New Haven Hospital (203-789-2255). Recently, LYMErix, a new FDA-approved vaccine, has proven 80 percent effective in clinical trials. For up-to-date information on the vaccine and other issues, contact the American Lyme Disease Foundation at 914-277-6970 or visit its Website at www.aldf.com."

, I went to Dr. Laura Fisher, director of the Lyme Disease Center at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center (212-746-1771), who is mentioned in that article a few years ago becuse she specializes in travel medicine/ infectious disease- she was incredible. Very thourough.
I do not have lime disease but I can recommend her- thought she was excellent checking me out for other symptoms I was having.
Everytime a result came in from testing I had to do, her office called me right away.
Good luck!!!!

Carol Singer is the Chief of ID. She is an amazing physician and a very good friend of my family, however, she only treats adults. Lorry Rubin is the ped ID physician. I don't have his number (but can get it). You can call the general operator @ LIJ @ 470-7000 and they'll transfer you to PID.
Please PM me if you need help getting in touch with him. All the best to your son.
