hello everyone,

i am in the SF Bay Area and need an LLMD to order my IgeneX test for me.

i did contact one doctor that was recommended in san francisco, but he doesn't take insurance, has a 2-month wait, and charges nearly $700 for the first visit.

any suggestions for more readily accessible and affordable help would be most appreciated.

thanks!

I'm sorry but I am no longer accepting any private messages due to my own battle with lyme.

thank you, robin & siciliano, for the PMs and the excellent information.

i see that my quest for diagnosis is going to further decimate me financiall--even beyond the level my illness has already caused. i can only pray that i will one day find myself on the other side of this...

i appreciate your responses and will do my best to put the resources you provided to good use.

peace,
binx

Yes, unfortunately we have trouble with insurances covering Lyme treatment so this is a bit expensive. I wish we could have better insurance coverage.
