Need Quick Info!

Can someone tell me the specific test for Lyme that is the one giving the most accurate results?

Has anyone had success with asking Dr K to run this/these test(s)??

 

 

Thanks!

OH please tell me your dd is still holding strong!!!

 

we used igenex. ...western blot..band 41+ and 39ind for ds

 

but if no one gets back to you you might want to check the lyme board

 

i bet he'll order it for you!!!

I seriously doubt he will order these for you. I emailed Dr. K re our son's IGeneX results and briefly stated some of the symptoms that have plaqued him and why we were exploring this route. One test, Babesia FISH test (the parasite is seen in red blood cells) was positive. Bartonella & Bb antibodies showed up. Our son has had 2 IVIG's w/ him. His response did not make me think that IGeneX testing was something he would order. I'll leave it at that. Your best bet is to get your local doc order it. Just my experience. Dawn

She is still doing well. This is just our one year post-ivig checkup. Thanks for the info. I thought that was the one IgeneX... I just remembered the Lyme board was there!- but wanted to be sure. Can't hurt to ask, though my impression is that he probably won't.

 

Thanks!!!

You can call Igenex and they will send you the kit with paperwork to be signed by a docotr. It could be a GP, Chiropractor, exc...

Perfect! I know our chiro or chiro/NRT would sign for it.
