Dear Miron,
I am so sorry that you are feeling ill.
Yes, it can be hard to find a proper diagnosis and treatment. Even in the States, the tests for Lyme Disease are unreliable and it is very hard to find a doctor willing to help.
The best things I can suggest is for you to visit the European Lyme support group at:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/eur...
There are two doctors I know of in the UK who are willing to treat Lyme and co-infections, but perhaps the members there can point you to a doctor in Romania.
I believe that many people in Europe do end up sending their blood to a Lab in California for testing. The lab is called Igenex and it is considered the gold standard in Lyme testing.
You can go on the Igenex Website and they give you instructions about how to ship the blood to them. I think if you e-mail them they will send you the packaging and everything you need to do that.
If you ask, Your regular doctor might be able to help you with that by drawing a blood sample for you. The Website address is:
http://www.igenex.com/
I hope some of this helps. Take care of yourself, try not to to get discouraged. I know it is hard but try to stay as calm as possible. Help and treatment can be found.
There is also a lot of good advice and support on forums on the Internet such as:
www.healingwell.com
They have a chatroom you can visit with lots of people who know a lot about finding help for people.
Hang in there :)
