Have symptom of lyme for yrs, dr never tested, sympt gettin worse the test that used to be done wanst great is there a way it can be check an best lab 2?

Family practice : Make sure they do a western blot test. Test also for arthritis. There are several types and tests for this. Were you ever treated. It sounds like you weren't. You are right , years ago it was hard to diagnose but is easier today. There were times i would treat if the symptoms were highly suggestive of lymes. It's difficult to treat later on in the illness.

Check out the link: Below. First of all, get a straight answer from your dr regarding the accurate diagnosis of lyme disease because there are other conditions that mimic it. Elisa & ifa are the 2 most common screening tests and western blot, pcr and skin biopsy are more specific tests. Hope u get better soon! http://www.M.Webmd.Com/a-to-z-guides/lyme-disease-test.
