Here is my IGeneX test results:
IGM
31++
34 IND
39 IND
41+

IGG
39 IND
41 ++
58 +

OK so I've researched enough to know that this is a postive. BUT, is there any way it COULD be something else? I go back to my LLMD tomorrow and I'm sure she will tell me everything, but I'm just looking for other "views" as well. Should I have my husband tested?

Is there anyway to know how long you have had LD?

If I get my husband tested how would be the best way to go about it? For insurance purposes.

MRI results:

Impression: No significant intracranial abnormality identified by MRI.

Incidental finding of timy pineal cyst of no clinical significance.

Finding: Flow voids are noted in the larger intracranial vessels.

What are flow voids?

Thanks for any help.

Print this out and read it several times....


Dr C's Western Blot explanation:

He explains all the bands and even discusses the significance of the "IND."

A must read.

"Flow voids are noted in the larger intracranial vessels." You asked what are "flow voids" and my guess is

Hypoperfusion (low blood flow), or ischemia (a restriction in blood supply). This is VERY common with lyme. Your LLMD should know all about this. Treatment and support measures often help.

Of course, discuss this with your LLMD.

I am not a doctor, but I would get a 2nd opinion on that Pineal Cyst. My friend had a pineal gland tumor that on biopsy was malignant.
Don't mean to alarm you....I am just pretty mistrustful of some doctors "opinions" and would get a 2nd on something so important.
