Question Title: Financial options for Lym TreatmentForum: Neurology Forum
| ||||
| My Brother-In-Law began having Lyme like symptoms well over a year ago after a camping trip in the sierras and a trip to New Jersey. He had difficulty getting diagnosed and did receive some anti-biotic treatment before he ran out of money.. He has no insurance and, at this point, is just living with it. Are there any resources that you are aware of that may be available to him. My understanding is that this is not a good thing to let go on. cm = Sorry but I am not aware of any specific agencies who offer financial support for this problem. The antibiotic treatment itself is not that expensive although the workup can be. He could certainly be seen at a free clinic for possible treatment. I would suggest that he does see a doctor for advise regarding his problem. 8 to 14% of patients who develop lyme disease will develop cardiac or neurologic problems.
