Thank you ALL so much for all the information, it's making a HUGE differece in what I say to my son's Infectious Disease MD. I have 2 questions.
I talked to Dr. H in WI yesterday. He sounds GREAT!
1. It turns out he DOES NOT use IGENEX. I told him IGENEX had some special equipment. He said his local University Lab has the same equipment.
Is that okay? Should I kind of INSIST that he use an IGENEX lab or TRUST that he knows what lab to use?
2.)BettyG says he's a ILADs MD, I don't know what that is YET. Is that good?

Hi - you could check in with your state Lyme support groups. They are listed under SupportGroups/UnitedStates/Wisconsin.
ILADS stands for International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society. They are the most experienced group of doctors treating Lyme and coinfections. You can go read their website (ILADS.org). Famous treating guidelines there are the Burrascano guidelines.
All the best - Robin
