I haven't asked this in a while--thought maybe we have some new members that live in my part of town?

NO, but I keep thinking I would like to visit San Diego again.

So, I will keep you in mind if I do ever make it down there again.

KAM,

Please do.

We could maybe rent one of those tandem (two-seated) Rascal-type scooters (have you seen those?) and tour the zoo--unless you think zoo keepers would think us too batty to let us leave

My husband and I are down here as well. He is a patient of Dr. H, who has been an answer to prayer and an absolute doll with everything. We too have been wondering if there were more Lymies here. How long have you been seeing Dr. H. How is your treatment progressing?

Hi Francis1967,

So nice to meet you.

I first saw Dr. H around Oct. 2002 here in San Diego (right before he stopped seeing patients this far south).

I brought with me about 400 pages of medical history (poor guy) from 1988 to 1992 that detailed my severe "Depression" illness which systematically attacked and infected one bodily function after another.

I also had a copy of the progress note that noted my complaint of some sort of insect bite on my forearm and how they said it was nothing.

Also had copies of more recent test results showing inner ear pathology and other neuro problems (vertigo, migraines, etc.).

Anyway, yes, Dr. H is great. Plus, since he is the first doc to validate my suspicions about having Lyme, I give him extra credit

Did your husband first become ill while living in San Diego as did I?

Boy, that sounds like a lot of fun. I haven't been to the SD Zoo in a long time.

I think at least 15 years.

I was really feeling isolated today and thought about checking in on lymenet to see how things are going.

I still think we need a California yahoo group connecting all of us.

It has been 6 days flat on my back now with the head stuff too. Not good.

Francis.....how is your husband doing?

I started seeing Dr. H in Jan/Feb. 2003. I am on my 9th week of IV Rocephin I think.

I continue to have some not so bad days followed by days I am really low functioning.

I see Dr H every 3 months. It is too long in between visits. I always feel so much better and more hopeful after my visit.

I am at one of those not feeling very hopeful at this time spots, but know that will change when I see Dr. H next month.

It will also change when I am able to get out and about again too. This testing the bed and couch out is for the birds or dogs or cats for that matter.

It took me 18 months and over 35 docs before I found Dr. H, had a dx and then started treatment. Unbelievable.

I am living in a very hot and dry area in Central California. I would prefer the SD temps.

Thought I would bring this back up for new members.

Eventually, I'm hoping we'll get enough to form a support group of some kind.
