You had all of those bands show positive??? I don't recognize some of the bands, like 69, 85 and 77 ...??

is a positive ELISA.
They test for two strains of Bb, 49736 and G39/40.
Should be a "B. borgdorferi 49736" possibly followed by list of bands.
Also should be a "B. burgdoferi G39/40" also possibly followed by list of bands.
Five bands is a positive. Which five I can not determine. Probably CDC five.
There also might be an "Osp A+" and an "Osp A-"

Add 54 and 63 to the 69, 77 and 85.
63 is OppA-3. 69 may be p73 Hsp70. 77 probably is Hsp90. 85 probably is 83-93.

All those bands were circled by my pcp hard to make out what is or isnt important . Funny thing is was I was in remission for a year maybe a little more .Started biaxin for an ear infection around xmas of last year . Then 4th day on it bang flu like symptoms stiff neck etc.. and all symptoms to follow. Didnt even think about a herx. until just now . Wow looks like things got stirred up for sure .Started to feel better only did 10days of the biaxin . Have an appt . with pcp and llmd. to come again . hard to pin if any co's are involved I know the symptons are so overlapping . Had every ra and inflamation panel done . ana's and the rest of the inflamation markers were negative . Consultated with a rheumy. who didnt slap lupus on me surprisingly as its happened a bunch of times malar rash blooms and I get handed literature on prednisone and lupus
Symptoms this time around Mostly , light sensitivity , random tingling facial , blotchy rashes on hands, facial flushing , fullness in ears/along with oceanlike sounds and fluttering noises, helmet like headaches come and go not severe , dizzyness, anxious feelings/panicky .Neck/radiating to shoulder pain , hot itchy ears , all wax and wane,

I had all of those tests come up normal as well and have Lyme confirmed by western blot.
