Here is what it says.

Borelia burgdorferi: IgG Abs- IB Negative

IgG band p23 Present

IgG band p41 Present

IgG band p58 Present

And then it says:

Borelia burgdorferi: IgM Abs- IB Positive

IgM band p23 Present

IgM band p39 Present

IgM band p41 Present

Last line says this:

"Lyme IgM IB is considered as Positive by CDC/ASTPHLD if any TWO of the following bands are Present: 23, 49, or 41"

The doctor has diagnosed diffused neuro lyme, based on symptoms and test results. This isn't Ignenx, but what do you all think?

Another piece of paper, completely different test says

Lyme Antibody is 6.44

What does that mean?

If you got a positive result from another lab, I'd say you have Lyme .... it even showed up on a less sensitive test.

I hope you're seeing an LLMD ... if you are having symptoms, you need to treat (in my opinion).

Oh, yes, I finally found a good doctor. There is definitely aggressive treatment. I just didn't know what the results mean? I guess it confirms what the doctor said.

If you were dog, the CDC would consider that result positive.

Adamm: Too bad more doctors can't be as astute as veterinarians then!

Well, your result says you are IgM positive for Bb..

As Six said, getting a Positive from a slack lab is really difficult. You need to treat. Good that you have a LLMD.

Best of Luck,
Feelfit
