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
Again, I only have neuro symptoms...can any of the co-infections cause mainly neuro symptoms?
A heartfelt thanks for help,

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.
