Went to the hospital yesterday to have blood drawn for test for a bunch of things, I should of kept a copy of the requisition so I could remember to ask my doctor about certain things on Monday. When the lab technician saw the papers the doc gave me, she said"wow" I have never seen so many tests being done at one time. They drew 17 vials of blood and she said some of them are being used for more than one test. Well my doc promised me he would find out what my problem was. This is my regular G.P, I go back to see the rheumy on the 5th of march. Well I have one question, he is doing another Lyme titer, I thought the name of the more accurate test for Lyme was called the "Western Blot". When I asked the lab tech about it she said that test is done to test for HIV, huh? I always thought it was for Lyme or am I wrong or was the Lab tech just wrong? margaret
