My doctor has recommended a test for lyme
disease because I am tired all the time. I am 58 and an indoors person. Any suggestion?
Just a few years ago, it was reported that many
doctors were over diagnosing and over treating Lyme disease. They would send
patients to bogus labs, which always came up with positive lyme results. These
doctors were involved in fraudulent practices and many patients were treated
unnecessarily with prolonged courses of antibiotics.
First, from your history, I would
never think of Lyme as a cause of Fatigue. I would change the doctor, and see
someone who is reliable and more interested in your health and not your
finances. Second, go to a reputable hospital lab for your testing. There are
many labs in the country which have unethical practices and perform inaccurate
tests- some are even owned by physicians.
Good luck
