Which blood tests are good to definitely show lyme?
I know the western blot doesn't always come back positive. What other ones are good?
Any info would be great, thanks in advance! [Smile]

None of the lyme tests are conclusive. I don't think any of them are better than another, etc.

Most of them can/do show negatives but are really positive.
