I would like to try something new. Maybe new ???
I would like to kinda be in charge of Florida Doctors. What I mean by this is for all our Lyme people could PM me with there info. I would like to start a following of the doctors. I would not release any names except in pms only. If 13 people send be informaiton on there doctors then next day 24 more. some will be same but would be different. THEY COULD BE PCP INTERNAL MEDICINE, INFECTIOUNS DISEASE, ETC. I would break it all down and then when some one say searching for Florida docs and can help them with all of our experiences.

Does this sound like anything andbody woudl be interested in??? Now if you ask you might get one of two doctors . If you would like to partcipatie in this then just pm all your doctors names that you are seeing for this TBV etc.

Please bear with me as my Lyme Brain is Foggy today????? confused: [group hug]

Sounds good. We do have a master list of LLMD's in FL, but to cover all lyme friendly docs would be good.

Would you share the list with us when you get it compiled?

PS...not many stop by in Seeking...so expect the response to be slow.

I would bet there are very few Lyme Friendly Drs in Florida that are unknown to the list holders here or Support Group leaders in Florida.....I would think that they would cover all bases

Am I not understanding???? [confused]

The problem is getting info from people. I did not have a great response even when e-mailing several people. We all are busy I understand that.

I have e-mailed the Support Group several times and no response.

This is just something I wanted to throw out there. If I get responses I will compile and watch for people searching in Florida.

Results will be shared with whom ever is interested. [group hug]

Have a Great Day?? [Smile]

I was looking for a friend last year and compared the list I got with a FL Lymie. She either knew nothing of, or had heard bad things about all the people on the list.

Some of these lists need to be updated, which is difficult to do, I know.

I keep a list for my area that I have compared with other locals who share it. Then I got another list from another person in area (big area!) and now have two lists.

My original list came from people active in support groups.

They overlap, but do cover different areas, at last a bit, so I keep them both.

The more lists. the better we can help people with Lyme, at least IMO.

nice idea!

since you are not hearing from support group leaders, please CALL them since many are too sick to reply, and perhaps another member in that area can email you CURRENT INFO on that area.

we can only give out what's updated and given to us! so it's a win-win situation for everyone. [group hug]
