If I plan to order the kit myself and have my regular doctor sign it..what do you guys advise me to order ? which kit is affordable, yet most useful and accurate ..
could someone help me then interpret the results, so that if it is negative I don't have to see LLMD ?
also, if I the test is negative for Lyme, does that mean the same for co-infections? if not, what test I should order to rule out co-infection as well ?

I heard that sometimes Ignex are not reliable in their tests results ...is this true ?

If money is an issue...which it was/is for me - I suggest you order the Western Blot -
If it is negative - you still want to see a LLMD because with a negative test, you could still have lyme disease....this is important - don't just rely on the test results.

yes money is an issue...how much this costs? what about co-infection

I paid $200 for the Lyme WB. I also had to pay $75 for the Fedex to deliver it quickly. But, I'm on Vancouver island, BC Canada, so it had quite a long way to go...
Don't bother with the co-infections if money is an issue....as they are often inaccurate...and the LLMD/LLND will let you know if he/she wants you to test for them. So far, my Dr. is going on symptoms...and reaction to meds. He has not suggested a test for the co's.

Some of the coinfections will be treated along with the lyme...others will need separate treatments with different meds.

The shipping is included in the US. The test codes for the western blots are 188 and 189.
