I did a 3-day urine test which was positive and convinced the insurance company to pay for the IV Rocephin Lyme treatment. Is this called the dot-blot? I'd like to do research on it, but want to be looking at the right name.

Check out www.Igenex.org to see the latest name they are calling it. You may also find detailed info there about it.

Hope that helps.

And good for you!!!

Yeah, I think they list it as the Lyme Blot test. It's kind of like the PCR. If it's positive it's great [and very valid]....but can often come back negative.
