hey, so i recently got my western blot results back after seeing a llmd here in town, test via Quest, and all igg bands were negative, and only 1 igm, band 23 KB was reactive, or positive. Is this enough to be pretty sure or would anyone recommend i follow up with another llmd or get testing through igenex. My symptoms are in some of my other posts but i have been on 1500mg tetracycline/day for the past month now and it seems my symptoms have ben getting better, hard to tell as i seem to have some sort of cold on top of this now, but not huge noticeable decrees in symptoms but i believe they are getting better, but this is the first indication that it might definitely be lyme seeing no other tests can find anything. what do you think? thanks

band 23 is highly specific to lyme you should definitely follow up with an LLMD if symptoms do not go away
