My husband and I have been suffering from Lymes for 6 years now, not knowing for sure what is going on. I was told that one can get a spect scan at Columbia Hospital and a doctor there(don't remember his name) can determine if the lymes is gone. Can anyone give me info on this?

A clean SPECT scan will not prove that your husband's lyme disease is gone. There is no test that exists for that. If your husband still has symptoms then he still needs more treatment.

The Dr @ Columbia is Dr. F.
