Lyme Disease Specialists
Sometimes Lyme disease can get to complicated levels where the patient needs specialized care and not the general physician's attention. If the patient has other preexisting conditions especially, Lyme disease can get to a worrisome state.



It is advisable that you see a doctor immediately you note a tick bite. This is especially crucial if you have a preexisting medical condition like heart diseases, kidney disease or cancer. It's always better for you to assume that the tick was a Lyme disease carrier and thus to treat it aggressively. Waiting for symptoms to show may allow the disease to develop to the potentially fatal late-stage diagnosis.



Nevertheless, if the diagnosis comes late and the patient needs a specialist care, the following is a list of websites via which you can find Lyme disease specialists.

Lyme Disease Doctors

Lyme Disease Doctors
Lyme disease is no longer a mystery illness, according to many Lyme disease doctors who are improving many breakthrough treatments for patients suffering from the chronic disorder.



In the past Lyme disease cases were simply regarded as a chronic illness that required multiple treatments of antibiotics and pain pills combined with lifelong episodes of reoccurring suffering for patients with the disease.



Lyme disease doctors define this illness as being one that is carried by ticks, which makes anyone vulnerable to acquiring it, and many cases that come in for treatment from lyme disease doctors often find that they experience a long series of unsuccessful treatments and ineffective drug therapies.



The universal symptoms of Lyme disease are a destabilized immune system, fever, chronic fatigue and a distinctive skin rash only found in patients with the disease.



Currently, there is a new treatment for people who suffer from this disease called Hyperbaric Chamber Therapy. Patients lie still in the in home Hyperbaric oxygen Chamber while the chamber fills with pure oxygen. This restores the oxygen to the red blood cells in the patient and increases blood oxygen circulation to bodily tissue and organs.



This helps the body in healing the wounds from the rash as well as improves immune system and bodily function.



Lyme disease doctors attest that this treatment is very effective in treating Lyme disease, autism, cerebral palsy and other auto immune disorders such as AIDS, Cancer and Lupus.



The duration of treatment vary from one patient to another. Lyme disease doctors claim that most patients will feel energetic and less lethargic after about ten treatments with the Hyperbaric Chamber.



Although there are a lot of success stories out there that claim that the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber is a true cure for people who suffer from Lyme disease, doctors strongly promote its healing affects but caution patients to not get too overly enthusiastic about the treatment because it serves as a tool along with certain drug treatments to aid in alleviating symptoms, not to cure the disease.



Lyme disease doctors also understand that Lyme disease patients, like those who have autism and Cerebral Palsy, do not have to resign to feeling like there will never be a cure because there is hope with the new medical breakthroughs of drug therapies and alternative treatments as well as the benefits of the Hyperbaric Chamber.



So, Lyme disease doctors do offer hope to those who are afflicted with this illness to not give up and to continue to have treatments from the Hyperbaric Chambers.
