Which tests should you have to check for things other than lyme & cos?

What are some of the key things that should be checked when someone has lyme & cos?

Cholesterol?

b-12?

vitamin D?

hormones?

During treatment do a CMP (complete metabolic panel) for liver and kidney functions, and a CBC (complete blood count) to see how your reds and whites are doing.

I test these every 2 to 3 months. If on IV you need to test more frequently (like every other week).

Fibrin monomer. This answered a lot for me. It's a test for hypercoagulation.

Liver function .. due to meds

Vit D

hormones if the Dr knows what he/she is doing
