I have not yet been diagnosed with lyme,however, I have been sick for the last 12 yrs and only recently learned the symptoms of lyme disease. Every symptom I have is a lyme symptom and every checklist I've filled out has had at least 3/4 or more checked, so I feel like it is worth it for me to go see a LLMD since noone else has been able to help me all this time.

I don't have a LLMD near me so I have to travel about 4 hrs to go see Dr. C. I was hoping someone can help me before I attempt to make this appointment. I want to be prepared before I call, is there anything I need to know or do before making this first appt with Dr. C.?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lisa

call Igenex, they will send you a free collection kit IgG & IgM western blot

www.igenex.com

then see if your local doctor will order it and have a copy sent to the LLMD. Or ask igenex to send a copy.
