What I don't understand is, the co-infections testing is supposedly so bad too. If they turn up negative, does that mean the doctor shouldn't treat them though there may be clinical evidence?

It took 20 years to find out I'm not crazy.
New bite in 2010 pushed my body over the edge. Positive for lyme, babs, bart, and myco.
I am not a doctor and happily offer only my own opinions.

Many good LLMD's will TREAT with a trial run of meds for coinfections if you have symptoms of co's.

They should still treat the symptoms regardless of a negative test , but they should be tested for all co`s to begin with .
