Correct test for Lyme Disease?

[Guest guest]

There was a discussion on this list a few weeks ago about the correct (i.e.

most accurate) test for Lyme Disease, but I can't find the thread. Can

someone resend the information? I have an appointment with a neurologist

tomorrow. My regular doctor (clinical epidemiologist) says that the only

treatment for LD is antibiotics. I have been following a natural approach

up to now (under his direction), so I was surprised at this. So if I

actually do have LD, then I want to fix that.

The test that I had for LD was done by LabCorp, and the name was: " Lyme

Disease Antibodies, IgM " . Here is a description of it:

* Methodology:*

Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) with pretreatment of specimen to eliminate

rheumatoid factor and IgG antibodies which reduce nonspecific cross

reactions

Thanks,

Larry
