Hi I found a local LLMD in March who seems to be very knowledgable, but have been urged over and over to get a second opinion before starting antibiotics as I am very sensitive to meds and in a lot of pain.

I have had chronic headaches and pain for 16 years and am now 37. I am opiate dependent and have two small children. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia many years ago and have been treated that way until now. I had these positive tests before and nobody ever encouraged me to treat. My LLMD says I have Lyme because of these tests:

LABCORP

1) lyme IGM early test (.96)
2) low CD57 (31/ul)
3) bands 41 and sometimes 23 present
4) high Immunoglobulin M (244)

MDL LABS

1) Bartonella IGG positive (2.95)
2) Anaplasma - positive
3) EBV-EA-D IGM - positive (1.57)
4) HH6 IGG ELISA - positive (10.07)

Any help understanding would be great. I'm anxious to start treatment if this is the right diagnosis.
THANK YOU!
