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.

Yes that is what i'm worried about. A false positive and unnecessarily flooding my body with antibiotics. I'm willing to try anything at this point. My biggest fear is allowing something to progress to the point it is untreatable.
