My LLMD gave me a kit and said that my PCP could do draw and submit it, if it was covered by insurance. I will need to make some calls to find this out. and I am hesitant to rock my insurance boat just yet. Especially if it is just another version of the WB. I Have done the traditional WB and just had the Igenix done and waiting for results...
Is this test worth it? I searched and could not find it mentioned on here before.

I did this test. It was recommended to me, because my practioner suspected that I had had Lyme for many, many years.
It was positive, but I didn't trust it - partially because no one here had ever mentioned it.
Then I did the Igenex test, which was also positive. By that point, I had done 3 days of Alinia, 10 days of Tindamax, and a week of Doxy, so it's possible that those drugs stirred up the spriochetes enough to show up on the WB.
I don't think any insurance covers My Lyme Immune I.D.
The test was valid for me, but I wish I hadn't spent the money now.

It's been discussed here before and is a good, new test. My wife had it done recently. incidentally I haven't been charged for it yet (nor has my insurance)

I wonder when it was discussed? When I searched the site back in March all I saw was people asking about it, and then no one else had heard of it.
Maybe I didn't do the search right?

I couldn't find it I the search either. I think I will wait for the igenix. It's another $625 unless insurance pays.

Is this test the same as my cd57 I had done? That was to show how my immune system was. Mine read a 4. The dr said that was really low.

No it is different than cd57.
Up...
