Anyone heard of this?

The last Lyme test I had was the one sent to the lab in CA, that was discussed in the link. There has been a ton of this around here because of all of the woods, hikers, etc., so even my family doctor, who I don't necessarily like, is very aware. They diagnosed about 15 cases just in July this year. I guess I could have another test, or talk to someone about it.

If you watch that documentary "Under Our Skin", you will see how doctors are possibly being given false information about Lyme disease. Thus, they are only 'aware' inasmuch as the info that is getting published and distributed to them. It's scary, and a lot of it has to do with Big Money. I won't go into it further here, but Lyme disease is more prevalent and more complex than originally thought. it's something we should all try to be more informed about. Again, it may not have anything to do with your problems.

I did watch the trailer. I am healthily skeptical of all of this stuff; I see the rheumatologist again in February, so I'll bring it up then. For now, I have to get myself back on track with the "alternative" stuff that did seem to help a bit.
I read a little bit more about the different diagnostic tests on line and I am positive that I had the the "second level" ones for the IGg and IGm immunological stuff; I remember because one of my kids was born with a low IGg level and he had to have allergy shots for years. I never saw that term again until I had the blood test.
Thankfully, Scott interrupted my reading with a video chat, since he just bought a new I Book. So, I am done, because reading medical stuff on line is kind of deadly for me!

I agree, I think it's good to be 'healthily skeptical' about all things medical!
