sickman....have u got your bloodwork back yet?...you were tested right?..*cant remember nothing sorry*

My ELISA was negative. I'm trying to gather enough info to go to my helpful doc and request additional tests, but I don't want to go to him month after months with a test-du-jour. I'd like to have several done at once to cover my bases. I've done some searching on the forums here and I know I'm not the only one with negative Lyme tests but who exhibit the symptoms and respond to abx.

And it's not just so I'll know. I'm treating myself off the grid. I'd just like to get a doctor to say "hey, you are sick! Here have some abx!"

No, it was Burlington Labs, but as I said, I want to cover all the bases before I ask for another.

ok well heres a little tidbit from my experience...i had a lyme test from four different labs in nc.....i dont remember the actual names but i remember every time i got a negative...they were all from a diffent lab....i was tested twice in this city where i live but both were different labs diff doc offices...was tested at johnston memorial and one from a medical clinic right outside where i live....and all negative on everything they were testing for....and my last negative was in august of this year...even carried my neg test with me on first visit with llmd....she retested for what she felt like i was dealing with...and three weeks later..she went over test results with me...i had lyme RMSF typhus fever and babs.....arsenic...parvo...and epsteinbarr....so i asked why such differences....and she plainly stated sensitivity...and that blood work was sent to igenics....i know u want to explore everything...and i totally respect that but with the success rate of getting a true positive from igenics...i hope u will try that also....
