Hi,
I have not felt like I had the funds to do a full (IGx lab in California) blood test, as it is over 1k. I have the tick that gave me lyme, and iGx says they can test the tick for five different diseases, for about 250?

I am having facial nerve issues, I suppose inflammation of nerves. Has been going on for months and now getting more constant.

The argument FOR the test is that I would know what I MIGHT have, because we obviously do not know what got transmitted.

Thoughts welcomed.

Forget tick testing. Get the Western Blot. Test #188 and 189. It's around $200-250.

www.igenex.com

That's all you need to start with. That, and a good LLMD!!!!

PS .. I got a tick tested at Igenex once and it came back FALSELY negative.

We also tested a tick through Igenex and it was false negative.
