The western blot IgG and IgM, test #188 and #189 is a total of $200....many other tests available though, but this is the initial one that should be done.
You can also order a test kit that comes with the Dr's order form and price list at www.igenex.com
Just email customer service with your address.

Thank you so much. So are these the only 3 I should get done first? Are those the cheapest ones?
I had a copmuter diagnostic test that said that I had Rickettsia. In 2003 I was told I have Epstein Barr. I am only now wondering if it is not really just Lyme.
I have no money. Do Igenex give discounts? Should I get a Rickketsia test?
Help and guidance is needed.
A huge part of me wants to stay in denial and not know this because I cannot bear the idea of living the rest of my life in pain. I have been chronically ill my whole life. This could send me over the edge. How do I get past it?

i paid over 400 bucks for my igenex and coinfec testing. i think it was around 460.
i didn't submit to insurance as i didn't want them to know it was for lyme, so it was out of pocket.

It is 2 tests, not 3.....Western blot IgG and western blot IgM which are test #188 and #189 on the Dr order form.
They are the basic ones to start with and yes, it is cheaper than ordering a panel which also includes a Lyme IFA which you really don't need.
I do not think Igenex has discounts.
They do accept credit cards.

i looked for my igenex cost sheets i posted in 2 places; had NO luck finding them either!!
used the board's search too in various forums; no luck; perhaps moderator deleted them and didn't let me know? who knows; almost 24,000 posts; too many to go back too.
i'll look on another board where i found the $$$ to begin with.

i'll get back to you on price list; went to other site & posted since i was unable to find it since they don't have a search feature like lymenet.
