That test plus symptoms will be a positive diagnosis. Congratulations on a clearly positive WB!

I also had similar Igenex WB positives for both IgG and IgM. It was a HUGE sigh of relief to see the result!!!!
But, both of my CDC results were negative as well. This is very frustrating!!!! My LLMD said "good luck" getting a neurologist to accept the positive becasue it wasn't CDC positive.
Every time I tell someone I had a positive WB, I feel I have to give a disclaimer because the CDC one wasn't positive.
I really can't afford to pay my health insurance and then go to a LLMD that doesn't take my health insurance. I really appreciate her help up to this point, but the finances are tight!!!!!!!!
Any suggestions from anyone......

You have Lyme Disease. Welcome to Hell. Don't forget to seriously investigate Co-infections to make sure that tick didn't pass on some other microbes. Treating Lyme alone without investigation into Co-infections is a serious mistake, a very bad choice.

Hi Tracisuzanne:
Like many, I'm having to incur credit debt and will pay it off over time.
I wonder if you could submit your paid bills to your insurance company for reimbursement,or at least partial reimbursement?
Best wishes and good luck,
Mickie

Thank you for your response, and for your welcome to H***, Metallic Blue. :-)
I've been living in H*** for over 15 years now carrying a diagnosis of CFIDS, so it is good to finally know the truth, however saddening the truth might be.
Thank you also for your suggestion to be sure to check for co-infections. I will be doing that at my first opportunity.
Best wishes,
Mickie

Yep Mickie,
That's a positive blot...esp the Bb specific 31 on IgM. I was undiagnosed for as long as you were, so I know your relief at having the answer.
Best, Feelfit

Thank you so much for your response and input, Feelfit.
I'm happy to hear that you now know what has been/is ailing you, too, but sorry you had to suffer so long before finding out.
