Need a local MD/GP for routine appointments - needs to understand Lyme

Same here. I also live in SF Bay Area and need a open-minded GP. I have protein in my kidneys and my LLMD wants me to see a doctor - which I won't do if they're just going to scream at me and tell me to stop taking antibiotics.

Please help.

I would really appreciate it. I need a regular docotor big time.

Finding,

Good ideas. I haven't checked other sites. Someone also suggested to me that if I do find a doctor's name I should look them up in Yelp to see what other people had to say about them. I'll have to pop out there and see what other Lyme boards there are; this is the first one I found and I like it here so I haven't looked around.

As far as abx, it was a tough decision and not one easily made, but because I've had this for such a long time and because so many of my bodily entities are affected, I decided with the guidance of my holistic LLMD to go the antibiotic route. If I weren't so sick I would definitely prefer the natural approach (which is how I overcame interstitial cystitis), but right now I think what I'm doing gives me the best shot at knocking this thing down.

Thanks for your input!

I have Lyme; it doesn't have me.

Rose,

Send an email to ILADS. They may be able to help you find a Lyme Literate GP in your area. Explain to them that you need someone closer to work with your LLMD.
