My doctor took a Lyme Titer. I've been trying to read on the boards some, but I am at the point where I can't focus for very long.

Should I ask for copies of the lab work? What if he tells me "it's false"? What should I say? I had to fight him just to take the lyme test.

My story is on another board somewhere. I'm sorry I don't have the energy to find out where.

This is a nightmare. It hurts so bad.

Yes, you should always get copies of any labwork you have done. Get a copy of your Lyme test & post it here.

Yes, MAYBE! If it comes back positive then you can take it to the bank. Negative.. not so much!!

If he says it's a false positive, find a new doctor!!!

Here is Mission's story:
