I tried to email this to drcharlescrist.com and it wouldn't go through.  Please

advise.

I do hope that someone in this group can help.  My son and I have both received

our Igenex Lyme disease test results.  We had a doctor that did at least consent

to draw the blood and send it to Igenex.  Not only is he not an LLMD, he knows

absolutely nothing about Lyme disease and really doesn't appear to want to

know.  Therefore, only because of an internet friend that does indeed have Lyme,

our tests seem to reveal that we both have late chronic Lyme disease.  Is there

a phyician in this group that would be kind enough to respond as to our results

if I sent him a copy?

Also, I have a close minded daughter, in her early forties, that I am now very

worried about.  A couple of months ago, she had what appeared to be a small bite

on her leg.  That small bite grew to the size of a fifty-cent piece.  It looked

like pictures I've seen online of Lyme tick bites.  I tried to get someone to

take a picture of it, but no one would.  I insisted I go to her dermatologist

with her.  He ran some tests and told her he had ruled out a few things.  He put

her on Rimpafin (sp) and if it wasn't better in a month to see him again. He

also told her she had a suppressed immune system. She went back to him as it was

no better.  He then ran a culture on it.  The results came back from the lab

stating it is an ingrown hair!  At the present time, it does look smaller.  She

is on no antibiotics, and is leaving town for five days this Saturday.  When she

comes back, this dermatologist is planning to cut it out of her leg.  He told

her she will have to keep her leg elevated for two days after the surgery. 

From an ingrown hair?  Really?  I did talk her into having a lyme test run at

least by Quest, which she did.  All shows non-reactive withe the exception of 41

KD (IGG) BAND.  The results show REACTIVE (Abn: A)      I don't know what all of

this means either.

Please know any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
