Very sadly, there are no LLMDs in Oregon. The Oregon Medical Board (with heavy warnings from IDSA) wants it that way. But, there are still other avenues.

And, one good thing is that there are a couple ILADS-educated LL NDs (naturopathic doctors). Most patients travel out of state if they need a LLMD, to the Seattle area or to California.

In addition to the yahoo site above from pmerv, here's the link to the support system. Please contact them. They are very active, even in the absence of LLMDs in the state.

It's very much like this in Oregon trying to find a MD who can understand and take lyme seriously. But, not mentioned here is the politics of the IDSA. That's why most MDs refuse to see, as illustrated here:
