Thank You Krimpet! My GP will only go off of test results :-( I shared with he what I've learned but she just kept going back to what the CDC and FDA recommend for testing and diagnosis. They just...
Hi Artemix - my value was .217 - It had to be .9 or higher for a positive test. I wasn't sure what that meant and could not find any type of range to go off of when I googled. They will not send it...
After my disappointing news that my Lyme antibody test (ELISA) was negative, I went on a researching frenzy this morning. I found this page: [url]http://www.anapsid.org/lyme/lymeseroneg.html[url] Has...
Thank You for that information Denikeef! I will look up the 75% off discount. I can give Igenex a call later today if I can't find the info online. I have some new pains I am having in my groin/pubic...
I am not sure if I have Lyme's but I have all of the symptoms so working has been very difficult with the day to day issues. I am very blessed to work from home. I do administrative work - it is...
Thank You! I will get that changed now :-)...
I got my ELISA test back today. It was negative. To be positive it had to be over .9, my number was .217. I am wondering what that means? Does it mean that some Lyme antibody was detected but not...
Still in the beginning phases of all this. I've done some research, posted on this site a few times. I'm currently working with my GP, had ELISA testing done yesterday ( I know it's not the best...
I just wish people would understand. I am going through the testing process now, but been sick for a long time. It has definitely affected my social life. My husband is the only person who truly...
You all are so helpful - I've been on many forums like these and it is so refreshing to meet so many kind and caring people! I'll have to see if I can find a store here. I'm sure there divine...
I'm on vacation and today started with a very tender and painful gland under left jaw. I happen to have some amoxicillian that I hadn't finished from an infection I had back in Feb. I am tempted to...
I'm sorry it took so long for your diagnosis :-( that is the most frustrating! Hopefully you will have a full recovery or at least feel mostly better! I know even if I got 80% improvement I would...
Wow! That is incredibly sad to think they would lose their license over treatment methods! To me if the patient is choosing that testing then why in the world would a Dr get in trouble? We live in a...
Dr. Called and will order ELISA testing - claimed that Is now the gold standard and that Igenex is no longer reputable and is too hard to read. I did share with them what I have learned here but...
Thank You Little Bear! I did hear from my primary care Dr today and he is looking into the testing for me and said he would follow up with me on Friday. Praying that in his research he finds the test...
We don't have the extra $$ right now - so I emailed the Dr in hopes he could possibly order it for me and bill my insurance. As you can imagine we already have tons of medical bills racked up from...
Thank You! I went to the advanced labs website but don't see a lymes test kit. Maybe I am not looking in the correct place....
I forgot to mention I had shingles this past February. I thought I was little young to be getting shingles but now this would help answer that one. I've also developed eczema, and other weird skin...
I am sitting here almost in tears at the amount of support and information that you all have given me in just a few hours!! I just emailed my primary care requesting the Igenex test. If he won't...
Thank You all so much!! When I go to my Dr do I request the Igenex testing? I did find a regular MD here in Cincinnati but he only uses the ELISA tests ( I want to stay away from him right?) It is...
Fist - I am so thankful to have found this forum!! I have been suffering from mystery illness for 3 years (severe) probably since childhood with many other things. I grew up in a wooded area and was...
