I just recently had my first visit to a/my LLMD! I got my test results back om the mail. The CD57 test showed the following:

% CD8-/CD57+ Lymphs
Result 3 % Limits 2-17

Abs.CD8-CD57+ Lymphs
Result 48 L /UL Limits 60-130

The IGM western blot showed the following:

18 kDa. ++

22 kDa. -

**23-25 kDa. IND

28 kDa. -

30 kDa. +

**31 kDa. IND

**39 kDa. +

**41 kDa. ++

45 kDa. -

58 kDa. +

66 kDa. +

I was also tested for Bartonella and Babesia..

Bartonella henselae by Real-Time PCR: Negative

Babesia microti by Real-Time PCR: Negative

Babesia Microti IgG by ELISA: IgG Neg (Index=0.17)

I'm guessing I will be going on oral abx once I see my LLMD.

Glad to finally have some answers/results.

Well, it's nice to have a clearly positive test!!!

Why didn't they do the IgG??

Don't take the babs tests to heart. It could still be there.

Good luck!

Here is info in case you'd like to read about the bands:

Lymetoo - I believe I just got the IGM and not IGG, because I already definetly had lyme disease (about 7 years ago, which was inadequately treated.

Isn't the IGG more for initial diagnosis? And yes...it is nice to have such a clearly positive test for confirmation.
