This list is targeted towards autism, but I am convinced that every one of them makes sense for people with Lyme as well. The conditions are not entirely different - in fact in many cases - they may be the same.
List even included a couple of labs I wasn't aware of. Hubby has had many tests done by several of the labs on the list. Results have generally been consistent with symptomatology.
Unfortunately, many of the labs listed will be out of network for most insurance companies. And some of these tests can be very expensive.
The other thing I have a problem with is docs who mark up the cost of the tests 100% or more. If the doc will allow you to pay for the test yourself it is usually cheaper to pay the lab directly rather than having the charge run through the docs office.

I agree. I have always done the pre-pay amount where possible as it is much cheaper and generally pay the lab directly. Paying the doctor for many of these is probably not the ideal as you pointed out.
Fry Clinical Lab is one that I am very excited about.
