Hi all you knowledgeable folks. If there is anyone that is good at interpreting my test results I'd really appreciate the help.

Igm 18+/-, 28&30+/-, 39+/-, 41+, 58+/-, 66+++
Igg 18+/-, 30+, 31&34&39+/-, 41+, 45+, 58+, 66+/-

Bart Igg, 1:40, babs Igg, 1:60.
The western blot Igg is considered neg.& the Igm indeterminate.

I spoke to Dr. Harris from Igenex and he said I should do further PCR testing as Igg is negative. I really thought these tests were pretty positive, comments please!
Thanks, Kathi confused:

What are you symptoms? What led you to do the test?

Hi Cafe67, I'm the one thats been cooresponding with NP40. I was treated last year for positive Bartonella in Milwaukee from April thru Nov when I discontinued treatment because of serious yeast which I'm still dealing with.

I was diagnosed with MS 16 years ago but have had many tick bites over the years. I bowhunt and the last bite was in 1998.

I have all the lyme symptoms, fatigue, foot drop, vision problems, cognitive issues, heart palpatations, and many others which vary and come and go.

Humbah, go to TREEPATROL'S LINKS and you'll find info galore on interpreting the western blot info...ok!

Welcome to this 24/7 support group board!

Here's TREEPATROL's and TINCUP'S combination newbie links.

Print off the links then check them off as you read as you could spend several months reading all of this.

print & read Dr. Barrascono's info first; you will come back to this often.

You have several bands which are specific for Lyme. Dr C lists those in this link:

Western Blot explanation: http://flash.lymenet.org/ubb/Forum1/HTML/022767.html

Also read what he says about "equivocal." [+/-]

And make SURE you get treatment for babs!!!!!!
