My IgM titers show a positive P31 and an IND P39. My IGNEX labs say that a positive P31 can occur when you have had EBV, which I have had recently.

My symptoms are consistent with both EBV and Lyme. The treatment is very different. EBV can be treated with Valtrex. I'm trying to decide which route to try first, or if I can do both at the same time.

Anyone have knowledge or personal experience similar to mine?

mariarosa~ I answered your other post. I think you should pursue the viral route. You have a very high antibody titer to EBV, and basically one band to lyme...which, in my opinion is not enough to begin treatment.

You cannot tell the difference between a chronic viral infection and a lyme infection. The symptoms are the same.

Do lots of reading at www.hhv-6foundation.org.

Best,
Timaca
