Does anyone know how well this test works? It is the Lyme Antibodies Screen, Total IgG and IgM, with Reflex Lyme Antibodies by Western Blot.

I had this test done a couple of weeks ago and it came back negative.

At what stage of Lyme does a test like this work or not work? I think I may possibly be in a late stage of Lyme.

Thanks.

Hi Shedtick, pulled this off of page two so we could get you some responses.

Do you have the actual test results themselves and not just a summary ?

It would show a number [39] and then a plus + or minus -. If you have these results post them here. Testing for lyme is notorious in it's unreliability. What symptoms do you have ? How long ? Lyme is supposed to be a clinical diagnosis because testing is so poor.
