Hi,

I would at least ask for the standard TBD tests. Of course ideally you would want to get tested by IGeneX for Lyme but you have to send for a kit from them.

Frye Lab in Arizona is best for co-infection testing.

Standard stuff to test for with TBDs:
Lyme (skip the Elisa, get a Western Blot)
Bartonella
Babesiosis
Ehrlichiosis
