-------------------- The fibromyalgia I've had for 32 years was an undiagnosed Lyme symptom.

It would seem that as lyme can literally be anywhere in the body however shallow or more likely DEEP inside; that such a test no matter how accurate will have a certain probability of simply missing areas of the body (upper kidney, deep in the liver, heart, spine etc) where it hides. To me that seems to be the issue is finding out where to get the specimen from. Such a big problem! j

Weird that it kept saying not available in CA... when I know my LLMD will have 50 kits and asked if we would like to get tested.
Unfortunately we can't at this point b/c in order to test you have to be off antibiotics for 4 weeks.
So I can't wait to hear from others who will go first!
