I am sure I was infected after a trip to Florida. Has anyone here been infected with lyme from Florida, where they KNOW they got it in Florida?
Also, does anyone know of a good LLMD in Washington state, or a support group here? There is a link to one that I found, but no response.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

To my knowledge there are no LLMD's in Washington State. I live in Idaho and most people from the pacific northwest have to travel to California to see a good LLMD. There maybe physicans who dabble in lyme treatment in WA but I would not waste your valuable time and money.
You can go to support groups on this site for Washington State and contract someone at walyme.com. I contacted them and they were really helpful.
You can also post in seeking doctor asking for nearest LLMD.

Thank you so much for the PM info! And for letting me know there is lyme in Florida, I've heard so long from ID docs here that it is not possible to contract lyme there. I just hate the doctors I've seen, ignorance of this disease is ruining my life! (little rant . . sorry) Thanks again, all of you.

Hi Lymeblue, Have you successfully been treated? Where were you in Florida? I was by N. Miami Beach.
