Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I had my PCP give me the lyme test. I had a hard time convincing him to do it but he finally did agree.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Yes, your PCP can order the test, but it is IMPERATIVE that it be done through IGENEX lab. He should agree. www.igenex.com Also, you can email sarah at shami86@.... she's the girl who is doing so great after being treated with Lyme. I'm surprised she's not already on and responding. good luck love, Molly Berry Home wrote: I had my PCP give me the lyme test. I had a hard time convincing him to do it but he finally did agree.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 You MUST go through Igenex. My Lyme test would have been negative through any other lab except Igenex. I have been treating the Lyme (positive through Igenex) for over a week. Yesterday I was in ZERO PAIN all day long, even after having intercourse the night before. I am feeling MUCH BETTER since I started treating the Lyme. Lindsey __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Hi Lindsey-- What dose of Doxy are you on? I am on 200 mg/day but thinking I may need to go up. Did you herx? For me when I started the antibiotics my pain was about 5 times worse for 3 weeks. > > You MUST go through Igenex. My Lyme test would have been negative through any other lab except Igenex.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 : The minimum dose of Doxy for Lyme is 400 mgs per day. But if you are Herxing that is a sign that the meds are working. Perhaps your doctor will increase the dose. Here is a link to some guidelines by Dr. Burrascano probably the most respected LLMD in the country http://www.ilads.org/ This is tha main page of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Go to " Treatment " and Dr. Burrascano's is one of the ones there.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Re-Igenex and your insurance covering it. Your insurance most likely will NOT cover it unless you have a PPO, and then it seems lke it's only a maybe. It was under $200. The best $200 I ever spent and just a drop in the bucket compared to everything else I've spent trying to get to the bottom of it.
