To get people to open your post, change the title of your post to "Seeking Doctor in Orange County, Calif."
Without at least the state in your title, those from your state will just pass by the post. Many people don't have time to open a post just to see if it is in their state.
So, this will help you get responses to your request.
Just click on the paper and pencil icon at the top of YOUR post and it will allow you to edit the title and also the content of your post.
The other thing you can do is go to "Support Groups" at the left of the screen and look up all the lyme support groups in California and call all of them for doctor recommendations.
I can't help you with names. I'm on the east coast. But we have many California posters, so some should come by to help.

check the California Lyme Group under Yahoo Groups. Lots of California patients there and will increase your chances of finding a Dr. close to you.

When someone doesn't put their personal history on the post, I PM them and ask for the information.
That way, if very personal, it is not invasive to the poster. Sometimes I think we scare posters away asking this question, or asking them to change their posts or jump thru hoops.
The info helps us to direct them to the best Dr for their needs, so it's pretty useful.
I only need to know how to PM them...then I ask those questions or help with the post.
Sorry for the rant folks but this has been bugging me.
Dant--Please go to your profile and enable PM's so someone can send you a referral from the list.

It's true. The "Welcome Mat" feels a little slippery to a Newbie.
Thanks to Meg, Lymetoo, Earis and a few others who PM'd me with kindness and help. It kept me here long enough to realize how really great you all are!
This message board offers help that I don't think you can get anywhere else.

Wondering if you found a LLMD. I also think there is a support group around your area.
I see a LLMD in Malibu. He opened the office there as there was a need for LLMD's in Southern Ca at the time.
When I was looking there were only 3 LLMD's in the state.
CALDA has done a good job of recruiting more and educating more health professionals.
