Was the test as hard to read and interpreted as Igenex?

where did you get infected? do you live in Europe?

fyi, I tested in Europe (Czech republic), even did a spinal tap and everything came back normal.

After the tests.. doctor explained they test for the european variant of borrelia which isn't the same as the one in America. (I didn't know this before I went in to test).

so, I don't have european lyme smile

Yes i used BCA Labs (formerly known as Infectolab) in Augsburg, i have 6 positive tests done there, every 4 months or so in between, LTT, LymeSpot, Elispot, CD57, coinfections etc... They are repeating some of the tests on a regular basis to track treatment progress.

I have never used Igenex so I can't compare. But my LLMD interpreted the results for me. But upon looking at them, yeah, I probably wouldn't understand them. Although some areas say " positive". BTW, I am an American living in Europe. I was bit in the US and the test picked up my "american " strain.
