I have spent a fortune already on trying to get to the bottom of everything- bloodwork, alternative docs, primary igenex work, etc.
My igenex came back ind for some strains and WB positive for strain 58. Today I just learned from my PCP that my ANA came back positive with a homogenous pattern (indicating lupus or some other kind of autoimmune disorder).
Next week I see an LLMD for the first time and of course that is a fortune but worth it. However, igenex called me yesterday bc the first alt med dr I had been seeing ordered further testing. I had sent them he bloodwork but in my fogged brain forgot the billing info! They informed me that it was a "special" panel testing for bab, Bart, etc and that it would be $580. That is more than my dr visit! I can't afford to spend all that for results to come back inconclusive.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I completely agree and am aware that health is priceless but based on the fact that western blot first came back pos and igenex ind I don't know how much faith I have in this company!

Call your LLMD's office and see if they are open. If they are, explain your test results and ask them if they will still require the rest of the testing - if not, don't do the test. These infections are basically supposed to be clinically diagnosed anyway.

You can go through the lymetap program to help you pay for testing. They paid 500 of my 700 dollar bill!

Traveler, that was an excellent idea! You just saved me $600!!
