In reply to Turned down for Lyme test; what now?, posted by Budzoid on March 10, 2009, at 21:35:18
Oh I hope blueberry sees this post tomorrow. Looks like we're both in trouble as I did test positive on western blot. If you google CDC and lymes you will see that their policy is not to treat lat lymes too expensive. Not just the VA. T My Son just testified at the hearing in DC for Veterans concerning Agent Orange for Viet Nam Vets And They voted it down. Agent Orange Isn't responsible for the Vets problems? My Son also was exposed In Desert Storm. Off Topic sorry just I get angry. I think if you go to the health dept give them a call they might be able to get you tested. Make sure it's Western Blot though as other one Elisa tests false negative a lot. What state are you in? Tell the health dept whatever you need to to get tested. I was notified by the health dept here in NC that I was positive and was I being treated. So if they get results done in private docs offices they must also arrange testing. Some studies are showing it can be contagious also sexually. Did you know if you test positive for lymes you also test positive for syphylis?? Love Phillipa
