Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Hello, I posted a while ago asking some questions about Igenex testing. We initially tested negative through one lab, then rested with Igenex. We did the Western Blot, IGM and IGG plus a lyme pcr serum a genomic and plasmid (whatever that means). We were just told that these came back negative as well. Looking at older responses to my first posting, I noticed someone said that if you have the PCR that it is a very small chance that it would come back false negative maybe 5% chance? And someone different said that Igenex has stated that most testing is unreliable. Does this mean the PCR as well? Also, I'm wondering why Igenex would state that their testing is mostly unreliable? Now we're wondering if we should go to another lyme doctor who someone recommended at $500 initial visit and go forward even if we haven't had the positive diagnosis or try another avenue. I guess we're just wondering how likely it is lyme even if we're not getting a positive. Are there other test names someone could provide that we have not done yet that would show the other coinfections or do the tests we've already done cover that? My husband has not complained of migraines as of yet. It's mostly the numbness, pain, burning and cold sensations. Thank you for any responses about this.
