Help Me Out Please!!!!

Well, my doctor is finally running a test for lyme disease. The test is a Lyme Serology; I have no idea what this is. If you could help me out with this I'd appreciate it!! I'm wondering too how accurate it is. Thanks!!

Love and Prayers, Kelly

Re: Help Me Out Please!!!!

Hi Kelly. I am not sure but it is likely the Lyme titer or ELISA. No Lyme test is completely reliable. From what I understand, this is the least realiable and the one most non-Lyme doctors run first.

Test results can also vary by lab. I suggest seeing if your doctor would run the Western Blot test by a Lyme reputable lab such as IgeneX in Palo Alto, CA. When Lyme disease is a possibility, the most important thing you can do is to see a Lyme knowledgeable doctor for an evaulation and testing.
