I am looking for a knowledgeable doctor in the Pacific Northwest. I already have a ND who has diagnosed me. From what I've read, it seems best to take both routes. Thank you.

- Not sure which state you want. PNW can include parts of 4 states.
If your ND is ILADS-educated and can prescribe antibiotics, that will help.
Oregon - zero LLMDs and looks that will likely never change. (There are a few ILADS educated LL NDs, though - and in Oregon they can prescribe antibiotics)
(What ILADS is) . . . WHY you need an ILADS-educated, Lyme Literate Doctor - starting with assessment / evaluation. -

- Sarah,
If you could say which state, you would likely get more specific replies.
Hopefully, others will PM you specific names.
If you are in Portland, OR - this email I just got may be of help: -------------------------------------
The Portland Lyme support will be meeting on the third Sunday for both April and May instead of our normal second Sunday so we do not conflict with Easter and Mother's Day.
Sunday, April 15th, from 1-3pm, usual location
Sunday, May 20th, from 1-3pm, usual location
Good luck to you. -

Thank you, I live in Oregon and understand that I may have to travel in order to see a good doctor and have a profitable experience.
I am trying to stay in business but it is becoming very tough as I lack clarity and am in the helping profession. I need to decide on a treatment plan very soon.

- I just sent you some links specific to Oregon. Be sure to log in to access your messages.
Since lyme is basically "illegal" here, as per the Oregon Medical Board,
glad to see that hopingandpraying sent some Seattle detail.
I still hope others will send you more names of LL doctors in California and Washington state.
(I did send the name of one LLMD/ND in Vancouver, WA.)
Take care. -
