I think that I will request a blood slide from my doc on Tuesday. don't know if he'll go for it.
I know that Be a said that Clongen is the best place to do this. Does anyone have experience with this type of test?
I know that there are not many options.
Any advice appreciated.

What do you mean by blood slide? To have someone analyze your blood... Live blood microscopy?

No I mean like Fry labs or Clongen. They look to see if there are any weird critters in your blood. I may also do live blood.

For Babesia (many spp), Parisitology Center Inc is a great place IMO to get blood smear analysis.
For other infections, I think Clogen, Fry, or even Stonybrook (IF Stonybrook does it; I think they do.).
