I am newly discovering chronic lymes. I am researching for my husband...self employed taxidermist. He has tested negative twice for lymes..but I am not giving up. * what is the recommended test for lymes? His symptoms started with painful, tight tendons. Not joints..not muscles...would start in the tendon. All over his body mostly hands, elbows, back of knees and feet. On 5/18 he woke up with a powerful ache in the back of neck...radiating up into his head and has been there since. We saw doctor (not L.literate?) on 5/25...he has scheduled MRI for 6/1. Last night pain got SO BAD I nearly ran him to E.R. This morning he is a fraction better....but I have a feeling he will be in bed all day. HELP!!?!??! I don't know where to turn or where to start!?!?!

You can call them and order the test kit. Take it to your doctor and have him/her sign off on it. If he/she won't do that, then you will have to wait for an LLMD to do it.
(you get the kit for free .. but send in approx $200 when the blood is drawn and the bloodwork sent to Igenex) Get the blood drawn early in the week so it does not sit around in a post office.)
Lyme does not have an "s" .. thanks!
Moving this to Medical Questions for more feedback.
