IF google and read the previous posts, you can go see a llmd and get tested, but do so at your own risk. LLmd will not take insurance, and any lab that is not officially sanctioned will not be covered by insurance, such as igenex, and some private labs. and its very expensive to see and get tested. The only doctors or physicians that will approve these test are llmd, or doctors that believe in "chronic lyme disease". Llmd will most likely based it off your symptoms alone(excluding other possibilities). The tests IGENEX uses, are very questionable, as thier alternative methods of detection, are not validated, or reliable. just hope you dont get treated for the wrong things. HAVE YOUr doctor suggested doxycycline, for a few weeks to see anything.
