Igenex Testing

[Cassi]

My dd8 has myco p and I've read a lot of parents talking about getting the lyme testing from Igenex. She had the western blot done by quest and it came back negative. I went to the Igenex web site and was so confused on what test to order. There was the basic lyme panel, complete lyme panel, Initial lyme Panel & complete Co-Infection Panel. Which one do I order? I also couldn't find the pricing of the test either. Can anyone lead me into the right direction? Thanks, Cassi

If you email IGeneX they will reply with the latest price list. I don't know what test to suggest. We haven't done our testing yet, but I am planning on doing the 6050 Lyme panel when I have enough cash. You should probably post this question on the lyme forum. I'm interested in the answer too, as we also have a negative western blot, but plenty of strange lyme-type symptoms.

Our Lyme doc had us do the Igenex #188 and #189 which is their western blot. It costs $200 for both. I was fortunate to have our insurance company pay me back $120 of that. This is a good place to start without breaking the bank and then the LLMD you see with the Igenex results (if you went that route) would help further.
