Looking for the Igenex Western Blot in MA. Just want to get an idea if I have any of the bugs. I seem to get some symptoms

I don't understand your request. Are you looking for a doctor to test you through IgeneX? Do you need doctor names for MA?

Yes, let us know if you're looking for a Lyme-literate doctor, otherwise we'll move this to Medical for medical discussion.
Just initially, so you understand, any doctor can order IGeneX Western Blot IgM and IgG antibody tests. IGeneX can send you a free testkit. www.IGeneX.com. Then you need to get the tests done early in the week.
You can also test for co-infections like babesia, bartonella and ehrlichia. I always tell folks to look at a list of symptoms for the co-infections and see whether you think you match any.
Results of the test get sent back to the ordering doctor. Make sure you get a copy. It's a good idea to post the positive antibody band results here and we can help you interpret them.
For anyone who qualifies for low income, you can get 75% off the IGeneX testing through www.lymetap.com. Posted by JoeC (Member # 33563) on :
Yes. I am looking to get tested through Igenex currently. How would the process work If I bought the kit now? Covered under insurance? And My PCP doesnt really believe in Chronic Lyme, So I would most likely need one of those as well
