    Hi,

    I was searching the net but couldn't find any detailed info about doctors treating lyme (Borreliosis) in the Country. I'm looking for ILADS doctor, long-term antibiotic treatment.

    If anyone has any names please post them here, there are only old pages online, which are not working anymore, thanks :o

    There are no ILADS doctors in Ireland because chronic Lyme disease is not a recognised condition. There is no credible evidence for long-term antibiotics. It would be unfair (perhaps even unethical) to treat patients for an unproven condition with an unproven treatment.

    There are doctors in Ireland who specialise in infectious disease, and Lyme disease in particular, but they will probably not give you the answers/treatment you are looking for.

    Feel free to discuss Lyme disease but recommending specific doctors is not allowed as per the forum charter
