I know I will get CBC checked, but what other tests to ask for ?

you should get liver and kidney function tests.

Does the CBC include RBC, and WBC, hemoglobin, platelets...?

Yes Girlie the CBC will include all those. Should I ask to be retested for Lyme and co?

Why would you want to be retested?

Just to see if it appears as positive. My aunt's tests were negative initially but later became positive. In back of my mind I am still looking for some written confirmation.

Sam,

Let us know how the appt. goes.

I would do full CBC, make sure it includes EBV, I would also have T3/T4 tested.

Ask for a cos test. That was a lot cheaper than the full Lyme panel for some reason. You already know you have lyme so sounds like you are looking to see what friends came to the party right?

Good luck.

Okay, I see.

You could try...you could - just do the WB IgM and IgG for $210 (not the full lyme panel) - it's not a big loss if you test negative again.

I know we don't need positive test results...but I have to admit I was happy to have mine on paper because my regular Dr. may have started questioning my diagnosis by now...if not for that positive test result.
..and I need her support for monthly blood tests.

Did you have some positive bands, Sam?

Ferritin ,cd57 , a1c ,hormones ....cortisol ,vit d ,progesterone, dhea, lipid panel
