Why only Igenex? Has anyone used Neuroscience?

[mdmom]

I see a lot of folks on this forum using Igenex testing.

 

Has anyone ever used Neuroscience "My Lyme ID" testing?

 

It goes beyond looking for just Lyme antibodies.

 

Curious to know your experiences.

We have not used that test but I happen to know that my llmd uses it sometimes. He recommended it for someone I know who had quite a few non specific antibodies on their western blot. He said the test could identify coinfections and is more sensitive. That's all I know.

I know some on the forum have used Neuroscience. I believe one family is involved in a study for them. Might search forum 'neuroscience' to see what old posts come up regarding test.

 

We did go beyond looking for antibodies by looking for DNA and matching antigens. These test were also through Igenex.

Thought others might be interested to know that Neuroscience accepts insurance and our insurance company paid for 80% of the bill.

We used both My Lyme ID and Igenex to diagnose our family of four with Lyme last fall, 2010. Both tests showed the same results. We decided we like My Lyme ID for all the additional information that we get. You can track the cytokine levels to evaluate treatment response.
