Does anyone know how accurate Lyme testing is done through Mayo Clinic compared to others? Thanks!

Whew, no way, jose!! That's one of the worst possible places to go for that! Steer clear. They are Lyme deniers.

Probably uses the CDC criteria (not originally meant to be diagnostic) for Western blot to deny sufferers proper diagnosis.

Let's put it this way: They sure aren't going to use Igenex!

Thank you so much for the input! Someone I know, (mostly through fb) just had her daughter tested there and it was negative.

She says she feels confident in their negative result. So frustrating because her daughter is very ill with all the crazy Lyme symptoms and of course her doctors are all scratching their heads.

I have Lyme so I know the struggle. I tried to tell her to go through igenix and gave her a list of LLMD’s in her state. Unfortunately she’s relying on what her doctors are telling her. [Frown]
