Got my daughters test results back and they were very much positive. So we are dealing with that.

My son's just had one band positive: IGM P39Ab.

Does this warrant extra testing with Igenex? We had his tests done with LabCorp and he is not a little boy. I just don't know if this is a good definitive test as a negative or not.

Thank you guys in advance!

If you scroll down in the following link, you'll see a list of the antibody bands and their interps. 39 is a Lyme band. Many doctors feel if someone has even one specific Lyme band, it's enough to show Lyme and time to treat with a Lyme doctor.

If you want referrals, you can make a post in Seeking a Doctor and put OK in the heading.

Thank you! I will see if my LLMD will see him. My tests and my daughters both have multiple.

From what I read in the information then, 97% of people with that specific band do see improvement with some antibiotics. My son does actually have the fevers every 42 days. How do I find a doctor who will believe me and agree to give him medicine with just one band? Do I just take him with me when I finally get into a LLMD for my myself and my other children?
