I had PCR testing done through IMD labs in California. I think it tested for 4 strains of mycoplasma. Maybe I have a form for which I was not tested. Or maybe they're hiding. (???) I also had an ASO titre done that came back negative, along with several more less-specific tests like CBC, etc. Just FYI. I find it helpful to re-read " The Road Back " > once in awhile, I always notice things I missed the time before. That's exactly what I need to do. Thanks again!
