Lichsnail1210 asked:Dog tested positive for lyme Yesterday i took my dog to the vet for vaccines and checkup he tested positive for lyme, and is now being treated. The vet highly recommended i be tested as well. I live in the quad city area near Davenport Iowa. I called around seeing which doctors or clinics can test for lyme and came up empty. Is anyone aware or have any info on places in my area that can do testing?
applextrent replied:Igenex.com Ironically the tests are faster and more accurate for dogs. For humans, the tests suck and are inaccurate. Igenex is a private lab with more accurate results than what most doctors provide. It’s worth the money to be sure. Find a Lyme literate doctor. Most MDs and infectious disease doctors won’t help you. Insurance companies rarely treat Lyme disease. Get as long a round of meds for your dog as possible. Dogs have a higher body temp and Lyme doesn’t mess them up as much. But it can still cause behavioral issues and joint problems.

Bonnie R. asked:Where can I go in Dallas area to get a test done to confirm that is not expensive?Courtney T. replied:Any doctor can order an Igenex test. That's the lab you need to use to get the best results. Other labs have a high rate of false negatives. Ask an understanding, kind doc in your area. You can the form to order right on line at igenex.com. Just get 188 and 189. Cost will be about $210. Beg and borrow if you have to.

Joni C. asked:Welcome to our new group members, and hello to everyone else. Under the ABOUT section, on the right of this page, tells us how many group members we currently have. We'd like to invite you to "Invite" anyone that you know that has lyme, a family member/friend/caregiver of a person with lyme; even they think it's possible they might have lyme, or have taken a lyme test and it was "negative". It's easy to do: add their name in the box, click or press enter, and they're in! Please invite all Dr.'s, nurses, attorneys, or anyone else who may me able to help us in our plight. No More Two-Tier Lyme Testing! It needs to be filed in the trash.Joni C. replied:IGeneX, Inc. is currently the most accurate Lyme Test. http://www.igenex.com/Website/

Judi R. asked:It seems that the only LLMD in this area is a pediatrician. Would one see an Infectious Disease MD instead?

Melissa B. asked:My daughter has a rash on the back of her neck. I don't know for sure when she got it, but it was before treatment. Within the last week, she has developed 3 more rashes. Her neurologist has heard of a few cases of rashes with people who have NMDA. Does anyone/their child have any rashes? I looked up info & found nothing on it, so any info/opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Jimmy B. replied:I don't trust lyme tests unless they go to www.Igenex.com. Lyme tests can be 50-70% false negative and only 3% false positive.

FIBROMYALGIA A. asked:Re-posting for Meegan, Has anyone had experiences with bank loan insurance companies, centrelink, other insurance claims saying that Fibromyalgia is not a condition they cover.... Ive been going through 4 different claims with different companies but 1 bank in particular is proving to cause more stress n trouble and is coming up with every excuse under the sun to not help. why pay for loan protection insurance if ur denied the very right in a time of need? It makes me so upset and sick in the stomach wondering how many other people they are doing this too! Fibromyalgia is real!!!!Debie E. replied:Don't bother with the Rhumatoligist. they are the wrong folks to test you!!! http://igenex.com/Website/#

Evaleena P. asked:please offer some advice do any of you have daily fevers, pink looking rashes on neck,chest,over joints or just random places that disappear in minutes? hot flashes, excessive sweating, hot to touch skin when rash pops up or itchy at times? rash on ur face? fibromyalgia symptoms? I got bitten by weird looking flies in Europe in my thigh area, months later my rt knee swelled up, rt side of my face also swelled up 103,104 fevers started, 1yr later my femur heads were being eatten away, and was told I need a hip replacement, was diagnosed with AOSD and many more conditions. Lyme blood tests always came out negative, took chemo,biologic meds/infusions but rashes,fevers, joint damage,pain nothin ever completely worked and it never went away. now lymph nodes are acting up. ive heard its cancer from a rheumy at Cleveland clinic, was told I have few months left, well that whacko was wrong because it's been close to a year and im still around. where can I go, who to see if this is really lyme? only "true rife" scan showed it , blood work never makes any sense, joint damage continues. these past 3 years were horrible, my legs, rt side of face have been swollen all this time, fibro points and fatigue got slightly better but I still have really bad days. all this $$$$$ and time wasted and im still in a crappy shapeElsie G. replied:You can also find out on your own first. Just get a doc to authorize a blood draw. igenex.com

Michelle B. asked:Does anyone suggest a Lyme literate Dr in thé Montreal Canada area ? Or reliable testing in Canada? If so please PM me.Elsie G. replied:Michelle Bouchard ...Jenn's right. Our tests are pure crap. I've heard rumors that there are 2 practicing LLMDs in Ontario but nowhere else. However, Dr. E.M. is finding the naturopaths very receptive to Lyme education/training so try one of them. Find one who will do the blood draw so you can send your test kit to igenex.com and you'll probably have one who can read the results and treat you.
