Lyme tests

i was in KY and was bitten by multiple ticks in 2011, I even found one in my thigh 3 months later. I started sleeping for 19 hours and dr THOUGHT I was just anemic. I was finally tested for Lymes and RMF and only borrelia came back positive...I am still so tired, in pain and have no energy. I am on iron supplements and they can't get my ferritin levels up. Is there another test that might help diagnose? I live in California

You could have co-infections too. The longer you wait, the worse the symptoms. Agree with Katya, you need an igenex test and find an LLMD to treat you.

You can email ILADS.org and ask them for an LLMD in your area or simply Google LLMD and where you live. The problem with that is you really don't know what you are getting so seeing someone affiliated with ILADS is the safest.

Good luck and let us know if you have other questions.

Igenex can. But it sounds like it is already positive. Find a lyme specialist.

Igenex is in CA :)
