I sent my igenex western blot igg and igm test in today and it says 2 day express.

How long did it take to get your results back?

I am eager to get the results.

Do they send you and the Dr. the test results or just the Dr.?

Honestly, if it is signed by an LLMD, I think it goes faster than if it is signed by a Doctor they are not familiar working with-

I'd say expect 10 working business days (2 weeks)

They will not send you the results- just the doctor.

Mine came back after 2 weeks and were sent directly to my LLMD.

For those of you who had to get your lab results through your doctor, did you or doctor send the test in?

I sent the test in myself after getting my blood drawn myself at the local hospital.

I thought my doc said we would both get a copy but she may have been referring to another test.

I sent the test in myself too. The nurse at my LLMD's office drew my blood and got the kit all ready for me and I mailed it off.

The lab report (results) will not be sent to the patient by the lab. It has to go through the doctor who ordered the test.

You will get a copy but from your doctor.

It took the full 2 weeks for mine. My IgM came back much faster than the IgG which was still pending at the two week point.

Mine went to the doctor's office as well. They gave me the copy.

Keebler, I received my results in the mail from Igenex. If you are CDC positive, depending on which state you live in, they will mail cc you the results. Igenex is required to report all positives to the state.
