Hi, I just joined today. I suspect I might have Lyme Disease. But I am there are so many websites out there which is a good thing and there is so much info out there and of course there are so many labs to order tests. The Bowen labs website has 4 tests ranging from $250 to $500, while the igenex website has so many tests that I my head is spinning. BTW what are co-infections? If someone is tested negative for lyme disease can they be positive for co-infections? Are co-infections other bugs? Meaning Lyme is the actual lyme bug and co-infections are other bugs? As for treatment, maynn there are so many.
Is there a link or guide for beginners? Thank you in advance everyone.

A whole lot to learn about these diseases from the treatment battles between Md's to all the different antibiotics, herxing, detoxing, co-infections and on and on, it can be overwhelming.
Lyme is a virulent bacteria needing long term treatment, same w/co-infections. One link here describes LD: http://www.thehumansideoflyme.net/
Lots of links at the site at the bottom of my post, click on "Resources" and the "Archived forum/Articles" - leads to many other reliable websites and information that will help you learn.
Get a Lyme literate Md - you can find an LLMd by going to www.ilads.org clicking on the contact link email or call them.
