My first blood test was Negative for IGG(bLOT)all Bands.Positve IGM (BLOT) POSITIVE band 31, positive band 23 OspC. What are your thoughts.

My second blood test IGG ELISA (BORDERLINE) IGM ELISA POSITIVE. IGG(BLOT) NEGATIVE, IGM (BORDELINE)
OspC 25 POSITIVE.

Opinions please?

LYME.

Have you read Dr C's explanation of the Western Blot?? You have several Lyme-specific bands, not to mention a positive ELISA!!!

The ELISA is notable for its false-negatives, so if you have a positive that means a lot!!!

I READ IT, AND IF I THINK IT SAYS IF YOU HAVE A POSITIVE IGM, THEN YOU HAVE LYME.. WHAT YOU THINK?

Sorry Tony, but I have to agree with Lymetoo. Sure looks like Lyme to me.

Please see a Lyme specialist (LLMD) and save yourself a lot of pain and suffering for the future. Good luck!!!!!!!!
