Hi everyone,
Last week I received my Igenex results. They are:
IgM band 18 + band 39 IND band 41 IND band 58 + band 83-93 +
IgG band 30 + band 31 IND band 41 ++ band 45 + band 58 +
My IFA titer was 1:40 IND
and my PCR was negative for serum and whole blood.
Of course, they were reported as Igenex negative and CDC negative, but I knew better from reading Dr Burrascano's guidelines.
I called an LLMD's office and got an appt for Feb 8 (a Sunday!!)
The nurse (the Dr's wife) asked me to read her my Igenex results. I had only read her my IgM results when she said, "That's all I need to hear."
She started to tell me what my first appt would be like. It will be a 4 hr eval and I will be having alot more labwork ordered. The Dr, his wife, and their children have lyme. I think they will be awesome health care providers for me. He is a former ILADS director also.
I am really looking forward to this appt, so that after 21 years of fibromyalgia I can start healing.

Good for you!!!!
You have significant bands for lyme as you no doubt know.
I also had lyme induced fibromyalgia for decades. After 3 years of treatment, my pain levels are down by 60% and instead of the all over body pain, it moves around and is much less severe. Neuropathy is mostly gone and it was severe. So many other improvemets too.
Your LLMD sounds wonderful!!!
Hang in there, you are on the right track. Wishing you the best.

Hi Lymetoo,
It is so interesting, isn't it? I also remember reading that article sometime between October and now. October is when I started doing lyme research.
Hope you are doing well and thanks for your good wishes!
ps.....I loved the book "90 Minutes in Heaven"!
