Most doctors just run a blood test to look for the bacteria.<--Not true. Most doctor's actually run a test that checks for the antibodies that react to the bacteria, not the bacteria itself. Usually called an IGG and/or IGM Western Blot Test
not really. the ELISA test is the 1st test your primary doc will use to test for lyme disease, unfortunately it can come back false positive or false negative. the western blot test looks at more of the spectrum so to say. the elisa test came back negative for me but the western blot showed i had/have it, in multiple strains

No, fasting is not typically necessary before a Lyme disease blood test. However, it is always best to follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the lab conducting the test.
Sometimes. It doesn't always show up in a blood test. However, only cases where it does show up in a blood test are reported to the CDC. Therefore, there are many more cases of Lyme disease than are reported to the Center for Disease Control.
The tests for lyme disease are very inaccurate. You must get a western blot not a titer. You may have to do the western blot multiple times. Also if you suspect you have lyme you should consult a Lyme Disease Docter not your regular Dr.
