Be sure to get a copy of the test so you can see if any bands showed up.

Ask her if she would be willing to sign off on a test thru Igenex Lab.

www.igenex.com Do test #188 and 189

You can order the kit for free and get her to sign the paperwork. Then send it in with the $$.

Maybe you could copy off the symptoms list and check off the symptoms you have.

You might ask if she did a Bartonella test (Quest) and an Epstein Barr test. They might come back positive and give her a starting point? Or at least hold her interest in exploring the TBD angle.
