Recently diagnosed with Lyme disease at 29. More than likely have had it for 10 years based on how long symptoms have been occurring.
Trying to find a good Dr. To visit near Portland, OR.
Thanks!

- Welcome. Hope you find what you need here but sorry that it comes to this. As you may have determined by now, lyme is very "controversial" (to say the least) among MDs in Oregon and patient treatment suffers tremendously.
It's best not to even whisper "lyme" itself but even more so the term "chronic lyme" in any MD's office in Oregon.
There are, however, some ILADS educated lyme literate naturopathic doctors in Portland. You'll do best to contact the Portland support group for detail on how best to proceed.
Good luck.

WHY you need an ILADS "educated" or "minded" Lyme Literate doctor (whether MD or ND, or both) - starting with assessment / evaluation for lyme, OTHER tick-borne diseases, and other chronic stealth infections - and all that goes along for the ride.
Medical "models" explained here, as to differences in the ISDA & ILADS models of assessment & treatment - and exactly why it is so very important to know the differences. -
