I am on my second LLMD...I currently see the doc that TF recommends. Although I have a + lyme test from IGenex (note in my signature below), he recently ran another comprehensive lyme and co-infections test through this lab...anyone hear anything about it?

My friend just got tested through Immunosciences lab. He was also told how comprehensive they were. I tried to convince him not to waste his money and go through Igenex but $750 later his test came back negative. He is very symptomatic and has been for a very long time. I think he is now getting tested through Igenex.
He also sent me a copy of his test results which did all show negative, but were quite hard to understand.

Oh...lovely...lulu! I laid out $450 for my "comprehensive" test too...'don't quite know why he ordered it, though, as I have + stuff from Igenex...perhaps to test for co-infections?!?!?

This was the first lab my local ND used. I came back positive on their test when I failed on Labcorps elisa and wb.

He got tested for co-infections through them as well and although his bart test was negative his levels were slightly elevated.
I do hope you get some good results with this lab. I've read that Bea Siebert also used them at one time.

Yes, do a search here -- sorry no time to look for the link right now. Just use the word Immunosciences and hubby's test results should show up from 3 or 4 years ago.
This lab was the only one that has ever showed that hubby might also have had ehrlichia as a coinfection. I am hoping his new LLMD will actually reorder the test from this lab.
