Just wanted to check if anyone had any experience or knowledge on NeuroSciences lab for testing of Lymes Disease and Coinfections (Bart, Babs and Ehrilichia).

From my knowledge their testing for all the above coinfections as well as doing ELISA, Western Blot, LTT MELISA and couple of other tests which test for the peptides (outer layer covering borreliosis). Its all a bit over my head.

The testing is being sent to the US from London via express DHL. The tests are costing an arm and a leg so i am hoping that they very accurate.

My LLMD currently believes from his clinical dx that i have lymes + bart infection and currently has me on rifampicin. Previous LLMD had me on amoxi, zithro and metronidazole (but i couldnt cope with metronidazole).

Just would like to get some ideas on NeuroSciences i hope they are as good as my LLMD recommends. They are based in Wisconsin and i also can't actually find their website (well at least one that works).

Thanks for any advice you guys have, this sometimes feels like a hopeless disease.....

I beleive the lab you are refering to is https://www.neurorelief.com/ They are called Neuroscience.

I have never known them to test for Lyme or co-infections as they specialise in Neuotransmitter tests.

Jason -
I couldn't handle flagyl either, but am using Tindamax (Tinidazole) in its place without the "I'm going insane" feeling I had with flagyl

Thanks Rianna,

I tried to link to that website earlier and it wouldn't work maybe it was down seems to be working now though!

Thanks again, i see your from London same here! Hope the winter is treating you well. Also your pm box is full i tried to respond to your private message.

Nori,

Its good to hear tinidazole is doing well for you, it was my next option i have heard the side effects on tinidazole is a lot less than its cousin metronidazole. Will definitely keep it in mind for the future.

Thanks to Rianna it looks like the lab is Neuroimmunology Labs.

So if anyone has had any experience with them please let me know.
