I feel it is a waste of time to get those tests run because of the high false negative rates. You would be better off getting the new ISpotLyme test. Its more accurate. Infectious disease physicians are not trained properly to treat Lyme or any other VBD. There are no LLMD's in GA and only 1 in AL. Science doesn't even acknowledge that Protomyxzoa Rheu. even exists. The only test for it is done in AZ.
Oh wow, ok. I had been on a few Lyme forums and it seemed that the Igenex lab was the "gold standard" as far as LD testing. In particular, the Igenex 28 band western blot will often come up positive where the standard 10 band western blot would not. That could have been dated information however. I'm still waiting on Pharmason labs to get back to me about the ispotlyme testing.
