All negative except Indeterminate on **39 kDa and **41kDa.
Also, abnormalities from Immunosciences Lab:
IgG Variable Major Antigen 2.1 range 0-2 CD4+ Cell to Antigen A 16.0 range 0-10
CD4+ Cell to Antigen B 13.0 range 0-10 TNF-A Lyme Antigen (A+B)*2 1020 range 0-1000
borderline Lyme TNF-A Medium *1 996 range 0-1000
Do things add up? Thoughts? Hope you are all better than I am, that's for sure!

Not a clear picture, but Lyme is a clinical diagnosis. I would have tested for coinfections as well like Babesia, Ehrlichia, Bartonella. I don't understand why any doctor would miss that opportunity. The Immunosciences test is not clear to me. I have done their Lyme panel, but it is more than what you have presented. 39 is a Bb specific band and thus does show some evidence, but it could be that your immune response is weak and that with treatment, the test will become more positive. I know there is nothing definite here, but for many of us, that is the way it is. It takes time to put all the puzzle pieces together. You might also want to consider energetic medical diagnostic approaches with EAV, ART, etc. Be well

Band 39 is Lyme specific. Do you have a know tick bite or other history of exposure?
Band 39: Unknown what this antigen is, but based on research at the National Institute of Health (NIH), other Borrelia (such as Borrelia recurrentis that causes relapsing fever), do not even have the genetics to code for the 39 kDa antigen, much less produce it. It is the most specific antibody for borreliosis of all.
What meds are you on? Were you on meds when the tests were done?

Thanks very much for your responses. I tested negative for the 3 co-infections.
I wasn't on any antibiotics when the blood tests were taken. I have been on cedax, minocycline, and plaquenil for five weeks, but I am changing the cedax to biaxin starting today.

Well, maybe that will do the trick! I loved Biaxin for what it did for me.

Really, Lymetoo? Thanks for giving me a bit of hope. I just want 1 hour of relief...just 1 hour!! Posted by HEATHERKISS (Member # 6789) on :
My first drug was biaxin. after 5 weeks the pain in my hands went away. good luck!
Hope it works for you.

Really! It does give you a metallic taste in the mouth....but it's worth it!

Believe the co-infection results as much as you would Lyme results....in other words, my money would still be that you do have co-infections if you have tick-borne disease.
