The Armin-Labs German Lyme tests..who has gone this route?

How many European sufferers in here have gone the route of sending their bloods to Armin-Labs in Germany for the extensive blood work they offer to determine or eliminate that they just may have Lyme and/or co-infections?

Getting your GP to test or getting tested at a hospital is not thorough enough if you’ve been suffering symptoms for quite some time and you’re dealing with hardcore symptoms like seizures etc. They are not Lyme-Literate practitioners. Admin-Labs are constantly researching and are at the top of their field in Lyme testing.

Lyme's is often missed as are many other diseases such as antiphospholipid syndrome when a patient is suffering seizures.

It is far to easy to label someone with FND without ruling other serious ailments out.

Germany is so much more advanced than UK when it comes to this sort of thing. Was it a finger prick test or did you have to have your blood drawn I would like to get my blood tested ?

Thanks for posting it's interesting.

Hi Jillymo...It’s about 7 vials of blood to be sent off. Lyme is absolutely rife all over England and Ireland and people are very unaware and being misdiagnosed constantly.

This is their website..arminlabs.com/en

If someone is debilitated with symptoms that they’ve been diagnosed as “FND” they should definitely get these tests done to rule it out.

I have various diagnosed autoimmune diseases but neither the less I were still labeled with FND - it makes me cross. Thank you for the web address I will look into but my problem would be to get the blood drawn my drs surgery is very busy.

When you get the test kit make the appointment with the nurse or whomever for a Monday morning so you can post it off that morning. Even if that appointment is 4 Monday’s down the line at least you know you’re gona get your blood drawn and it sent off you know.

The rest of it has nothing really to do with them...you only require a professional to withdraw your blood. You get the results posted/emailed back to yourself etc

[Jillymo in reply to Hidden]

Did you have yours done at the surgery ?

[Hidden in reply to Jillymo]

I did hon... and all the rest I did then myself. Sent it off that Monday morning and had the results by that Friday evening.

[Jillymo in reply to Hidden]

I have done private testing before but never a vein draw.

Bless you for the info......whoopee the sun is coming out.

[Jillymo in reply to Hidden]

What test did you have there are a few to choose from ?

[Hidden in reply to Jillymo]

When you contact them, you give them your list of symptoms you’re dealing with and they assess it and then suggest what they think you should be tested for. They’re really good at going back and forth emailing no matter what you’ve to ask them.

That's German medic's for you nothing is too much trouble when it comes to health. Enjoy the rest of your weekend - weather permitting.

Meant to be going to see The Cure today but I wouldn’t be able for such a big gig so I’ve had to cancel. 🥺 The joys! I’m used to it by now. Same to you x

It is hard to plan anything when you feel so wretched all the time.

I am sure someone will record it and put it on Utube.

Keep your chin up chick. X

Haven’t been on for a few days so missed this post but yes I had my bloods sent to Germany. I’m Australia so it was a big deal trying to sort out the times of getting it done and flown ASAP. I had 7 vials sent ( organised through a private specialist we see) I was tested for borrelia and babesia but came back negative
