a friend who works in an llmd office told me she saw some new info from them on interpreting tests...(lyme tests, that is). but i can't find out anything about it on the igenex site...anyone else know?

haven't seen any info either. they are the lab my llmd uses for his testing. since they seem to be the only lab east of the mississippi, i'd love to read it. i'll try searching too

it didn't sound like a different test...but a new way of "reading" a test. like...if you have this pattern...we now know it is NOT LYME

call them tues. on their 1-800 line to find out, and then fill us all in too.
when you have them on the phone, ask what their current rates are on the sheet they hand out will you? i give these to people i suggest have the western blot done, and just want to verify it's CURRENT!
site will NOT shows costs anymore....thanks!

I just happened to have an appointment with my LLMD today and I asked her about this.
She said she's on the phone all the time with other LLMDs and she's never heard about this.
I sure would like to know myself, since I've never felt sure I have lyme even though I tested positive by Igenex.
