- You are in good hands with any suggestions from Robin123.
There are no LLMDs in Oregon. The Oregon Medical Board is very hostile regarding this matter so I'd look closer to your home in California where many Oregonians with lyme have to go for proper treatment.
However, there are a few Oregon ILADS-educated LL NDs (naturopathic doctors). For more detail, connect with:
Connect with on-line State Support Groups . . . and many other excellent tabs to explore.
Be sure to avoid any steroids or vaccinations as those can be bad news for anyone who might have any tick borne infection. Not all ticks are infected, however, so let's really hope you get lucky. Good to be proactive, in any case, though.
Good luck. Take care. -

You'll find official updated treatment guidelines (main page) for tick bites that you can print out (one page) and take it to your local doctor and push to get treated.
