Can someone interpret my testing. I'm suffering daily yet my Lyme Western Blot from Igenex is Negative
My LLMD states I do have Neuroborreliosis. I'm confused need explanation this is what test bands are indicating
**23-25 kDa IND
**31 kDa IND
**41 kDa IND
I want a clear definitive answer because of Neg results, medical docs will not administer treatment. I need a local medical doc to check vitals every 4 wks. Does IND mean Almost positive? This is LLMD interpretation.

Will eventually after antibiotics my test will reveal Positive? I've been suffering for 2 yrs.

I would'nt worry about your test results too much.

I would much rather trust a good llmd with a clinical diagnosis.

If you read your test report. Somewhere on it will tell you that a negative test result does NOT rule out INFECTION.

It is sometimes very difficult to get a positive test due to circumstances you will become familiar with as time goes by.

What have you got to lose?

If it were me I would listen to my llmd.

and be glad I had one!

**23-25 kDa IND means they saw something not enough to call it possitive
**31 kDa IND same
**41 kDa IND same

Treat keep treating did your llmd put you on abx's before giving western blot?
How long do you think you were infected?
