I was wondering what test should I get my Dr. To order for Lyme disease? I hear some give you false reading. I live in Alaska and we are short of specialist. So this Dr. Is just a regular MD.

If cost isn't an issue and I hadn't been on antibiotics for a while, I think I would get the new direct culture from advanced labs.

If I had a doctor that was willing to go outside the CDC reporting criteria for diagnosis and treatment, I would go with an IgG and IgM western blot from Igenex.
