Hello, I have been sick for years and am getting worse. I have been having problems with almost everything in my body. There are just too many things to list.

This week my doctor suggested to do blood work to test for lyme disease because of all that is wrong with me with no explanation. I grew up in Kentucky and Illinois and moved here to California 6 years ago.

If the blood test that my doctor isn't a proper blood test for actually diagnosing lyme disease then I will need a specialist. I live in Southern California.

Thank You.

Hi - It's best to do the IgM and IgG Western blot antibody tests for Lyme through the IGeneX lab(1-800-832-3200). They can send you a testkit for a blood draw early in the week.

Am pm'ing you - Robin
