What does this mean?

IgM 41+

IgG 30+, 39IND, 41+++, 45+

That's it!

Thanks

Bands 30 and 39 are Lyme specific. With symptoms, it's likely to be Lyme.

This test is definitely not indicative of Lyme, but definitely would not hurt to retest or do a round of antibiotics and see if you respond.

I have been on abx. for 2 years. Could that have any influence on the results.

Indicative YES, but maybe not conclusive. Still could be lyme...and probably is.

It is best to be OFF antibiotics for 14 days when having the blood drawn.
