Labs

My labs should be in my signature.

I've had symptoms for 5 yrs. I never saw a tick or had a bulls eye rash. I've also never had any pain or headaches. However, my unexplained symptoms include: fatigue, low energy, low motivation, poor memory, poor concentration, attention deficit, severe anxiety and panic attacks (for no reason), muscle weakness, hair loss.

The only thing I get treated with are psych meds. My doctor cannot find anything wrong with me. All my tests come back "normal".

I finally saw a new doc and she specifically ordered IGenex labs. She says the labs are not positive, but they aren't negative either. She suggested I see a LLMD. I called a couple local ILads docs. They are SO expensive. I hate to waste my money if I really don't have Lyme or a co infection.

I was hoping to gather some opinions based on my IGenex labs and symptoms. I never had pain, so I kind of thought it couldn't be Lyme.

You had a great doc! Most don't get Igenex at all!

Hi Utah,

I didn't have many of the 'classic' symptoms. I had little pain (until treatment), no bells palsy, no fever, no flu either. It is certainly worth a look into an LLMD.

There are other options though, naturopathy, homeopathy, and herbs. You can search for some of those online in your area as well also and compare costs. But I would urge you to seek a doctors opinion that is an expert in the area so in the future you are aware of how to deal with it.

Trust me, if you don't have your health - you have Nothing. So many of us know that on here and wished we had gone to the dr sooner.
