Need test advice for fam of 5 in ND

All of my family is being treated for Lymes;
My two sons had EM rashes, I had/have symptoms, daughter because I was nursing, husband just in case of sexual transmission (and he also had other tick bites).

So the 5 of us are being treated with antibiotics. Considering the cost of testing for all 5 of us (though we would qualify for lymetap assist.),
Should we skip the lyme tests and just do the co-infection tests?

I guess I am only really worried about Babesiosis for me and my daughter because we both have had night sweats/ naptime sweats.
But if we (my sons and I) were bit by the same tick, I wonder if we would all have it or not whether all have symptoms or not?

Then I am afraid we might have other infections and not know yet...also we are in North Dakota (are there any co-infections particular or common to this area?)

What would be the most prudent route? What co-infection tests would be helpful?

And is there any other way to determine if the night sweats are from babesiosis or just the lyme?

Thanks!

Hi Opugirl,
Thankfully my local Dr. is old school and in his own words, "I treat patients, not test results." He is not an LLMD, but he has been open to treating us all according to the Burrascano manual thingy.

So, I am thinking maybe am I overreacting thinking we all need these co-infection tests?

I wish someone could just tell me definitely, no you don't have babesiosis, cause you would see x, y, and z.
And of course I'm worried that my kids might have symptoms and I wouldn't even know or that they won't turn up til months or years down the road.

Not to sound ungrateful for my gem of a Dr., but i so wish I had a LLMD who already knows everything instead of having to research it all myself (but now I have the help of this forum, too!).

But if we do test for co-infections, we were planning on IgeneX.
Thanks for your input!
