On another note, one thing I constantly read about is the importance for checking for co-infections (Babesiosis, HME and HGE types of Ehrlichiosis, Bartonella and Mycoplasma) so make sure everything's been covered when you go see the doc! As you probably know, most Lyme folks say that the way to go in terms of labs is IGeneX. They'll send you a free kit if you call them. They're very helpful and if you explain your situation they'll recommend which panels to do.
Gee, if it's confirmed that Lyme does completely remit, I might be sending in my own kit!  |
I have one of those kits that tests for all the co-infections. I just havent gotten the blood draw for it yet...the test costs about $600 (out of pocket, Igenex doesnt take insurance)
My regular doctor said that when I'm ready for the test, he'll do the blood draws for me, for the cost of a lab visit at his office. (lab visit is about $15 - $30)
