Hi, I'm new. How many of you got a negative Lyme result with the first test? I'm referring to people who had illnesses long before they got tested for Lyme. Would you please tell me how you went about getting a proper test/diagnosis?

My Long Story Short
I've been sick for two years, and just heard about Lyme, I was bitten by a tick around two years ago, I don't know exactly the date, but I've been seeing one doc after another for two years now.

I just asked/insisted a Lyme test, I'm waiting on the results, it was just done yesterday. The lab tech did say if it came back positive, they'd test with a more intensive test next.

My lymphocytes are very low therefore I'm concerned maybe my antibodies won't show up on the initial Lyme test.? [confused]
( I can't get a test at Igenex right now, it's too expensive.)

Welcome! I'm off to bed, but will move this to medical questions first.
