Re: Terry- doctor referrals - Got lab request from Doctor is this right?

[Guest guest]

Andraya and all, thank you so much for the support. I got an email earlier from

my endo in San Diego. She is going to fax a lab request to one of the local

labs to be tested for Lyme disease. Is this the correct first step? I know

there are so many different strains of Lyme disease, but I figured I would start

here. However, if any of you have any better suggestions about what to be

tested for, I bet she would modify the lab request to reflect that.

I will wait to hear back from you all before going to the lab. She has to fax

the request into whichever lab I pick.

Thanks so much everyone....Terry

Hi Terry,

Is this one of the specialized labs? Igenex or LabCorp? I've been

advised to only use specialized labs for things like Lyme disease

because the disease will not show up in other lab testings and you

will just waste your money. Some people here know a lot about

testing, so wait for their responses.

Best,

Jess

Igenix is gold standard for Lyme testing. Lab Corp is a junk lab, their CD57 test is very helpful though.AandrayaOn Apr 24, 2012, at 5:05 PM, jessnyc <helpnynow@...> wrote:
