Looking for the rundown on SF Bay Area Lyme docs

Hi Jewelfire - So, you are looking for a PCP/Internist that knows about Lyme, but isn't truly a LLMD?

Are you sure you want to go that route? As the LLMD's are the "specialists" in the area of lyme disease treatment.

Hi again, I'd like to officially welcome you to our community! I hope we can help you.

When you have a moment, you should take a look at the thread at the top of the page titled: "New to Lyme?...Start Here!" - It's full of good information - symptom lists, detox ideas, and much more!


So you've been doing herbals and oral antibotics for a year? have you made progress?

I doubt if you will find a PCP who will treat you long enough with IV antibiotics....

I'm also looking for a good PCP/internist for general care. It does seem like there must be a few out there who are willing/able to treat Lyme. I'm a bit turned off by how some LLMDs make it into such an industry.

Hi Dogmom1 - welcome to our forum! This is a wonderful community of supportive, knowledgeable people.

I'd like to request you enable your email option, so members can send you names of LLMD's. We can't post the names on the forum, for privacy reasons. (We need to protect our Docs)

to enable: Click on "My Profile" (upper left blue bar), then click on "Edit Profile", then click on "show my email", scroll down and click on "submit" to save your changes.

Along with members recommendations, you can also contact ILADS for a Physician referral. Here is the link:

ilads.org/ilads_media/physician-referral/

Also, when you have a bit of time, please take a look at the "New to Lyme?...Start Here!" thread at the top of the page. It's full of good information - symptom lists, detox ideas, information on probiotics, and more.

Dogmom1 I'll send you the list I've made. I know that two of them do have you give them credit cards over the phone since their blocking a large time slot for the first appt. That only happens the one time.
