which tests should be run? I have a regular doctor signature but they don't know which tests to do? Also for Lone Star Tick? Lyme & Co-infections?

Broad Coverage Lyme Ab Assay
Broad Coverage Babesia Ab Assay or Babesia FISH
Broad Coverage Bartonella Assay
I hope others come along with their suggestions but it has been over 20 years since I had Lyme testing.

It has been so long since I was tested, I don't know what to say. Except, if I was to be tested, I would definitely use only IGeneX.
Perhaps call them? I was under the impression that they have helpful customer service.
Is is GalaxyLabs that is the recommended Bartonella test?

I havent called-I heard they have doctors to screen & test. I had another doctor sign last year-hopes its still good. Need a mobile lab person to come out to draw blood. Don't know what dr I will go to if positive. Think I have severe irreversible damage with nerves. 30 years since original lyme.

Hi Marie
Do have about 1 1/2 hours to watch a video featuring Dr Joesph Burrascano and his work @ IGeneX? He throughly goes through each test offered and why you might want to test with them.
Keep us updated! Good Luck 💚

Marie, if you are dealing with nerve damage, I highly recommend you read the very long thread of mild hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
I went 30 years as well between tick bites and diagnosis. mHBO does not cure everything, at least for me. But! I went from non-functional to functional. I am forever grateful.
And if you went with purchasing a chamber, it would not matter what the testing prove or did not prove. You would just slowly get better.
