Guys, I need some help.

I remember reading that either the fda or the cdc recognizes lyme as a clinical dx and I need to be pointed in the right direction because I'm again facing an MS dx.

thanks

Okay, so far I've found the FDA to say this in 1999. Is there anything more recent?

I mean, if THEY can agree with tests not being a basis for a dx and only used to SUPPORT a clinical dx...

Then why are these DUCKS still getting a H@rd on for these tests??

DIDN'T THEY GET THE MEMO!!!!

Kimmi, try this link to CDC. I think it has what you need.

I think you can find the statement at the bottom of the Western Blot results....at least the ones from Igenex.

Thanks for your help!

I was just on the CDC site... Kinda made me sick.. I think I vomited in my mouth a little.

Idiots..

Thanks alot, luckily I have dodged the whole "proving myself" thing..for now.

Take care everyone, and I hope you are all having one of those 'better' days!

Read number 5...
and read the rest if you like, you have my permission and I have my sons permission to give you permission.... [lol]

what REALLY cracks me up, is the fact that the tests were only for surveilance purposes.

WHO is doing the surveilance??

BARNEY FIFE??
-sorry don

Kimmi,

Actually no one really. Even CT labs no longer report positive tests.

Posted by Kimmi_K_75 (Member # 7438) on :

Kinda leaves plenty of opportunity for us to be 'herded' into other disease dx

they trying to fill quotas, or what?

Posted by livinlyme (Member # 3773) on :

Personally Kimmi, I think it has to do with kick backs they get for perscriptions from the drug companies....
that is just the way I view it... too much money in the drug industry..
