Getting retested (Igenex? what test?)

[seanscott256]

So I had the ELISA test done several times all with negative results about 6 months ago. I also had a western blot test from Imugen which only showed a positive band for 41 which is very common.

I just need some kind of conformation that I defiantly have lyme. I just ordered an Igenex kit. Which test should I have done? My Doc doesn't think I have any co-infections and recommended the western blot again if I do any. Is this the best one? Does anyone have experience with Igenex or similar labs? I don't think Imugen was very good but I'm no expert.

I have also been on antibiotics and supplements for over 3 months. Will this affect my testing if I have it redone? Thanks!

Is there a chance to do an EliSpot (cellular test) in the US? I've send mine to Germany, at BCA-clinic. i obviously have been the "clear type" positive for it. Elisa was negative, Blot was positive too.

Rather than get the tests run again, what about taking the existing test results (all of them) to another doc for a review?
