More help please

Sorry to keep asking this but need advice on which direction to go.  Multiple symptoms but mixed reasons by various doctors.  I don't have any money left so want to do the right thing.  My symptoms scream of Lyme.

I have been tested twice for Lyme.  I am not exp in this testing so my wording may be wrong.  Here are my results.

Lyme AB Detection:  By Elisha

Stated Negative for Antibody to Borrelia burgdorferi not detected.  My value was 0.73

I have tested negative for coinfection just recently.

My naturapathic doc says I have classic fibro with not so classic idiopathic neuropathy. I have all the tender ponts plus, gerd, IBS, unrefreshed sleep, .............. wants to do some expensive fibro therepy.

My neuro thinks Metabolic Myopathy and idiopathic neuropathy and tons of anxiety.

My GP thinks I'm crazy.

All say NO WAY LYME.  Never had a bite, area I live is very low for it and symptoms not "classic Lyme"

Please help.  If I have to scrape up the 200-500 bucks for IGENEX I will.  I am tired of feeling this bad.

Thank you ever so much.

You can tell your physicians that the majority of fibromyalgia patients have multiple infections, including mycoplasma (L-form bacteria) infection. I have Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome and yet I'm successfully being treated with the same treatments they use for lyme disease !

Here is the info that I recommend printing out for your physicians:

Prof. Nicolson also has treatment recommendations on his website and there are also other pathogen killing treatments (some are natural!) that you can find in the Health Pages.

Best,
