Hello:

I've been suffering with increasing neuro problems for 3 years (burning skin neuropathy nearly whole body, insomnia, tinnitus).

Considering a Lyme re-test. But also considering co-infection testing for which I have NEVER undergone.

Is it an absolute must that co-infection testing be done at Igenex or Can LabCorp cover such testing?

Also, with basically neuro-only symptoms, what are the most likely co-infection culprits?

Does anyone know current pricing for co-infection testing?

I am having this testing done BEFORE seeing a LLMD. I will take the results to a LLMD.

I had NO response to short term Rocephin tx in 2008 and just quit [Frown]

Again, I only have neuro symptoms...can any of the co-infections cause mainly neuro symptoms?

A heartfelt thanks for help,

[Smile]

I'd certainly start with coinfection testing at a commercial lab like LabCorp, Quest, or MDL. They're not horrible and the labs aren't the most reliable anyways even if using Igenex.

Personally, I'd run appropriate co-infection testing and pay close attention to Timaca's postings on other labs to run (viral tests, Vit D, B-12, etc.).

Your LLMD certainly can direct you more.
