Dr. C answered alot of my questions reguarding my test results on the Western Blot. The only thing I am still confused about is the AB.

On the results it says B.Burgdorferi AB Positive IGM, WB

23 Kd (igm)band reactive
39 Kd (igm)band non-reactive
41 Kd (igm)band reactive

I think I kind of understand but can someone walk me through?

Any help is much appreciated!

Antibody??

Did you read Dr C's explanation of the bands?

Here is the link. And you should have your own hard copy.

I can walk you through it, but not sure what else you are confused on.

Thanks this is alot to take in. I will eventually put 1 + 2 together.

I guess I will have to read the discription many times over.

I feel so overwhelmed, after my episode with the vertigo last night and day before (finally alittle better today)I was ready to throw in the towel. This Disease is Terrible!! [Frown]
