Can anyone help me?

I have an appointment to draw blood for an ELISA & Western blot tomorrow, should I cancel this and only do the IGENEX test? Or is it worth it?

Thanks.

Is the test free...or will you have to pay for it?

Is it a two-tiered test like they have in Canada? If so, then if the Elisa is negative, they won't do the WB.

If you have to pay for it...maybe don't bother...just do the Igenex WB test.

Thank you for the reply.

I have a pretty good D.O. , and he is running both tests (ELISA & WB). They should be covered under insurance, or at least one of them will be.

Well - this reply may be too late in the day for you.

Since it's covered, no harm in having it done.

This post will bump the thread up, to give more members a chance to respond to your LLMD request.

Also, you can contact ILADS Physician Referral:

Hi Storch!
Welcome to our community!

To find a ILADS trained LLMD, you can also email the Tick-Borne Disease Alliance at​[​​url]​[email protected]​ for LLMD referrals and you can go to ​tbdalliance.org​​ to learn more about these infections.


You can also go to The Lyme Disease Association and search for LLMD's 3 times in a month. You have to register first. Here is the link:
www.lymediseaseassociation.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=277&Itemid=74​​


​ You will want to find an ILADS (International Lyme And Associated Diseases Society) trained doctor, as ID Docs (Infectious Disease Doctors) believe Lyme is hard to catch and easy to treat, and don't believe in the reality of chronic Lyme. Go to the ILADS site to read the new (2014) Treatment guidelines to get you started on your healing journey:
