I am very desperate at this point!!!! i need any and all info on northern/central LLMDs. I have a very old LLMD list of ILADS docs. I currently see Dr. S and have for several years. my son was bitten several years ago and i thought that i saw a small rash developing on his scalp. I got him on amoxicillin the day after and I kept him on it for a few weeks..until i had my next appointment with Dr. S. We continued him on amox and dr s ran tests..he turned up positive on his urine pcr..nothing on WB. i always hoped that maybe the urine sample had been contaminated and that he really wasn't exposed.
i have always had this in the back of my mind..maybe it didn't get totally eradicated...just recently he has started having alarming symptoms (similar to ones that i have had)...i am DESPERATE..i have been suffering from this disease several years now and for reasons i don't want to go into here, i would like to try and find another doctor in my area (i know i will have to go north..i live in monterey). i was going to try dr. g from los altos..i know that she has started practicing in dr. S's office but i'd rather see her in her own los altos office. I DO have the location/number for her, but i was wondering if anyone has opinions on her/preferably personal experience with her. i think that i would be able to see her fairly quickly (hope) since i am an ongoing pt of dr s.
also does anyone have a current ILADS list?? i have a very old one (at least 5 years old)...PLEASE HELP...this is my son and i am freaking out. it is one thing dealing with this disease on my own..i have had a hard enough time with that...but the thought of my son suffering with this is just unbearable to even think about. thank you for any info that you can give meghan

Lot's of CA. folks here, I'm sure someone will be along shortly. In the meantime, you can go here for updated doc referrals and good luck. Not to worry, children normally handle lyme far better than adults.

I have heard only good things about Dr. H. in the northern part of the state. Check out Luke's message yesterday or today. I have no idea whether he treats children.
