Could sore knee joints & strange eye thing with one eye & minor vertigo be something else? I am 11 weeks post partum.
Are IGENEX always accurate? I am thinking of ordering one.

Yes, it could be a million different things. Though Lyme can seemingly cause just about anything, that does not mean that it is the cause of just about everthing. See your regular doctor, AND get an IGENEX test. They are more accurate in that they at least attempt to account for the vast genetic diversity of the Borrelia genera.
What we need are accurate genus tests..... but oh well, maybe one day we will.
Also, see a LLMD, one who is thorough, and understand that it is important to treat Lyme Disease following the guildlines set forth by the ILADS.
Whichever LLMD you choose, make sure they are not the kind who see Lyme in everything, as you symptoms may have nothing to do with Lyme. On that same point, its very important to see a doctor experienced in the care of Lyme in case you are suffereing from Lyme.
Glad to hear you have a new Baby! I'm sorry that you are not feeling well, and get on this as soon as you can, because if it is indeed Lyme, then getting it treated as soon as possible is absolutly needed, not only for yourself, but for your baby. He/she needs a healthy mother, and we are all praying for you that what you have has nothing to do with Lyme, and if it does, we are still praying for you that you will make it out just fine! Your kid will have a wonderful mother:)
