ch 50 blood test

[Johnsmom]

I'm asking our FORMER Family Practice doctor to run a few tests and sign off on the Igenex test. I asked for a C3D which if elevated can cause false negatives on testing. He wants to run a CH 50 instead which is more of a funtional test and a C3d is a complement test.

 

AHHHHHHHHH!!! I'm not a doctor.

 

SHould I post this over on the Lyme forum??? HMMMMM?

Johnsmom,

 

Maybe you already know this, but I thought this was helpful "in a nut shell," type of way regarding the CH50.
