Very true, but aren't false positives really very rare? I guess relative to say, false negatives (or seronegative) which are very common? I agree that the tests are a waste of alot of valuable resources that ld sufferers don't have--time, money,energy.. But I also understand that Igenex is extremely reliable, for some very important scientific reasons. I am so sorry that you son-in-law doesn't believe her. My marriage of 15 years (we've been together for 22) was really put to the test as I was misdiagnosed for 7 years. There were times when he didn't 'believe' I was nearly as sick as I was/am. Please tell him for me that I hope it doesn't take what happened to me to happen to his wife before he becomes a believer. I am now barely functioning, about to have to file SSD, rarely go out socially, had to cut my education short, am on morphine for pain,which is barely helping....Our life, our marriage,our family will never be the same. Before this, I owned my own business, took college classes, volunteered with several projects, was raising two children and helping two adult step-children, cleaned our 5,000 sq foot house by myself, made love with my husband several times a week, went out dancing at least once a week with him, and on and on. He now realizes what I've been going through. It would have made all the difference in the world to have had my best friend in my corner from the beginning. In fact, (and I haven't said this to my husband), I may well have had the courage to fight for the medical help I needed years sooner if I didn't have to fight my life partner for support too. As a mama, my heart aches for you, too, lateeda. It must be so hard to watch her go through this. Each of you will be in my prayers.
