Guest guest Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Well our pediatrician ordered the labwork! I'm not sure what test he requested...hopefully it's the western blot...that is the one I want correct? How likely is it that we could get a false negative? Is LDN used to treat Lyme by any chance? Oh, yes her symptoms are worse at night. I really hope we're on the right track here...any warnings or things to look for as far as testing and treatment?

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 It probably IS lyme, but make sure the doctor does a complete work up. You don't want to assume lyme but in actuality it is something else . . .

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I found a brochure online from ILADS (The International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society) called : Top Ten Tips To Prevent Chronic Lyme Disease If you go to their website at www.llads.org you can probably find it. I got it through a different link (sorry I forgot which). It has very helpful and important information. I was treated by the ILADS MD who edited the brochure. Kim Re: [ ] Re: Is this Lyme?!
