I've tried not to be, but now I am alarmed. I got bitten rushing out to stop my daughter from handling a horse she didn't know.

All her riding experiences had been in lessons in someone's corral. Those horses are "Circle Ponies" compared to the wild one they were trying to corner now.

I saved her from injury, unwittingly coming home with infected (had them tested) ticks in each leg.

SHE started vomiting on day three, once she got home to CA. She had a headache, fever, and fatigue. She had four more weeks of school, and made it through.

Then she came back to me cracking several of her joints, and showing less stamina than her peers.
She had so much leg pain that she couldn't sleep.

A local pediatrician, knew our histories, examined her and gave her 14 days of Amoxicillin which she took to CA.

I have just days 7 to find a pediatrician and try to get her in. I NEED please a LLMD in the Sacramento area? All and any help is deeply appreciated.
