HI,
May I suggest you get in touch with the Lyme Disease Assocation and/or CALDA California Lyme Disease Association and/or look for the CA Yahoo group.
You will see the same doctor's names coming up to help treat lyme.
I am seeing a doctor in CA but his main office is in Redwood City.
You may need to drive out of the area to find help.
When I first came down with lyme, I was amazed that there were only 3 docs on the list.
I called two of them and was added to the waiting list. I was 1,000 and something.
I called the 3rd and he was just opening an office.
I know CALDA and other LLMD's in CA have done a wonderful job of recruiting more LLMD's for CA.
You may also need to pay out of pocket.

I'm in the same boat here in Valencia, CA.
