Lyme Testing
I don't recall how the first testing was done (in 1996). The second was test was ordered by a physician in a University setting who was considered to a fibromyalgia expert there in 2008. I believe I had the standard ELISA test which came back negative. According to the CDC site on Lyme testing if the ELISA comes back positive you would proceed onto IgG Western Blot testing or if it comes back negative and the clinician is still suspicious, then you could go on to some other type of testing. This was not done in my case.
