Does anyone know exactly what he tests for on the first visit.

He took 4 viles of blood from me but I never actually asked what he was testing for.

If I can get this incredibly stubborn person to a doctor it will be a miracle.

thanks in advance

My blood type
Lyme
Babesia
Bartonella
Erlichia
Mycoplamsa pnuemonia
Strep
CBC + liver
CPK for heart
Rheumatoid factor
Ester Green- whatever that is

and a whole lot more. I came out with 6 viles of blood.

Its patient variant. It all depends on what your symptoms are. He doesnt use Igenex. He feels that since lyme and company is such a clinical diagnosis, why waste your money, but if you can pull something POSITIVE or even equivocal out of QUEST, then more power to you for the isnurance company.

At least he didnt test ME through igenex as I was already tested through it.

I always have a positive ELISA and the WB bands for lyme positive with Quest, also bart and myco plasma. go figure

He uses bloodwork to track the disease, so not to worry if you don't test positive.

We were there today. Apparently there is a witch hunt brewing in PA. Several llmds are being targeted for long term abx use for lyme.

Not to worry, it is ok to treat acne for many years with the same abxs

Rigidity of stance,position, stubborness, obsessive-compulsiveness and all synonymous characterizations connoting, stubborness,lack of flexibility,... are the corresponding psychological manifestations to the physical manifestations of a magnesium deficit.

Supplementing with magnesium,WITHOUT calcium for two weeks to a month should conduce to willingness to consider seeing a doctor.
Even a pinch (1/8 tsp.=400-600mg ) of epsoms salt(magnesium sulfate) will even help.
