The Igenex one was strongly positive for Lyme and the Labcorp one was negative. I had experienced about 85% of related Lyme symptoms over the course of 3 years. I took 4 courses of 1 month of oral antibiotic treatments for Lyme. I am not feeling much better physically than before treatment.
While physical violence is the most blatant form of domestic abuse, sometimes called intimate partner violence, it not the only form of domestic abuse. Domestic abuse can be emotional, physical, sexual, emotional, psychological and financial. It is harm inflicted by a current or former spouse or partner.
It has been argued that individuals who engage in spouse abuse increase their violence toward their partners, which can culminate in the death of either the assaulter or the victim. The aim of this review is to identify risk factors that determine whether an abusive relationship will end in eventual death. An extensive search revealed 22 empirical research studies on risk factors for spousal homicide. The circumstances of spousal homicide are described and salient risk factors are highlighted. In the United Kingdom, 37% of all women were murdered by their current or former intimate partner compared to 6% of men. The most common cause of an intimate partner's death in England and Wales was being attacked with a sharp implement or being strangled. By contrast, the most common cause in the United States for spousal homicide was being shot. Nine major risk factors are found that may help predict the probability of a partner homicide and prevent future victims.
