I took my wife to Mayo in July for her care and while I was there I found out I had PMR. Mayo Rochester is Outstanding! Every doctor, every member of the staff we came in contact with and all of the volunteers and facilities are just the best. They really care. Lots of hotels. We stayed at the Homewood Suites which is also very good. One mile to Mayo and they have a shuttle several times a day. I have been to all 3 of the Mayo's and can not say enough good things about them.

Do you know if they have a group that addresses Lyme disease or does it just fall under autoimmune disease?

Hello @sevey41,

If you would like to make an appointment at Mayo Clinic, please call one of our appointment offices. You can also request an appointment online.
The contact information for Minnesota, Arizona and Florida can be found here: http://www.mayoclinic.org/appointments
When you call, Mayo Clinic representatives will ask questions to help direct you to the best specialist, either at Mayo or closer to home.

Here's some information you may wish to view, about care at Mayo Clinic with regard to Lyme disease:

In the meantime, I'd also like to introduce you to @danny59 @carnes @hazelblumberg @shoregal45 @cbrackle @smiles2016 @parus @ihatediabetes who have posted Lyme disease, and I'm certain they will join this discussion with their insights.

@sevey41, may I ask how your grandson may have contracted Lyme disease? Was it diagnosed early? Have his doctors prescribed any antibiotics?

He was diagnosised by blood work , yes he had two series with antibiotics , he is a brittle diabetic and can not seem to control his blood sugars it has attacked him mostly neurologically has terrible anxiety, paranoid terribly bad. Has been seeing a Natural path and taking all kinds of supplements been six months and gets worse every day.. I sure hope the Mayo Clinic can help him we are desperate...

Hi @sevey41,

Please keep us updated about your grandson's appointments and progress; and let us know if you have any questions...we're listening.
I wish your grandson the best of luck.
