And of course, I can get in to see this LLMD within a week. So, you guys are more educated on this topic than I am - is it worth doing? The money I would have to sink into this to even get the igenex testing AND see this doctor would be almost $2k.
Thank you!

How was your RA diagnosed? RH factor or anti-CCP? Lyme can raise that ANA and RH factor but anti-CCP is highly specific to RA.
You can find cheaper LLMDs. Contact ILADS.org to get a list of doctors in your state. Else, I'm in Wisconsin and I can tell you that mine is way cheaper than that. And if you have BCBS insurance, my clinic accepts that as well. And if you don't have BCBS insurance, they will give you paperwork so you can try and submit to your insurance.
