Sorry Betty...don't know why I didn't respond.

My wife was diagnosed thru repeated Dr. visits over the past 8 months along with a CD57 test from LabCorp that didn't come back super low but was 112.

We just sent off the blood work to Igenex for the complete Lyme panel and complete Co-Infection panel. We hope that gives us better confirmation but also know that it may not.

Here is a list of her symptoms:
-Nausea - that comes and goes
-Stomach pain - like heart burn that comes and goes
-Extreme Fatigue that can come on almost instantly
-Joint pain - that comes and goes throughout the day
-Head fog, dreamy/drunk feeling
-Anxiousness from time to time
-Swollen Lymphs (and sore) in neck and breasts
-Chest feels tight from time to time
-Skin rash on neck
-Acne on cheeks and shoulders and back (started with illness)
-Stiff neck and back.

The Dr. that diagnosed it as Lyme has had experience with other Lyme patients. We confirmed that in our appointment we had today.

Should we need to seek a more specialized Lyme Dr. I would like to know where to go if needed.

Thanks!
