February 2011 I had a Lyme Western Blot through LABCORP and IgM 23 was present/abnormal. that's it. Before they thought Lyme I was put on Flagyl, Augmentin, and finally 28 days of Doxcy.

Fast forward to August: MDICAL DIAGNOSTIC LABORATORIES, NJ
Erlichia-negative blood PCR
Lyme-negative blood PCR
Mycoplasma pneumoniae Serum Elisa- only IgG pos.
Bartonella serum Elisa- negative
Babesia serum Elisa- negative
Lyme Urine PCR- negative

QUESTS labs P.A.
sedation rate by modified
WESTERGREN
ANA/IFA SCREEN
RHEUMATOID FACTOR
C-REACTIVE PROTEIN
------------------ ALL NEGATIVE/ WITHIN RANGE

EARLY OCTOBER: HAD MORE TEST THAT WERE FORGOTTEN LAST TIME.
ELISA, IgM, c6pep, WB, PCR - ALL NEGATIVE.

SO, MY QUESTION IS-- CAN I RELY ON THIS?

What are your symptoms?

You cannot rely absolutely on testing for tickborne diseases. All newbies make this mistake.

I second kidsgotlyme question: What are your symptoms? What were they before you got this treatment and how long did you have them?
