I don't have the papers in hand (yet) but was informed "i might have been exposed" whatever that means
I had the 31 KDA epitope confirmation test? could anyone explain what this is..this was after the 2 western blots being indecisive I guess.. dont have the result YET. but will
I ordered a adult 30 day supply of humaworm and am awaiting that and trying it just for the hell of it in hopes that it might clear up horrible stabbing lower abdominal pains i occasionaly have and mabe the muscle pain and joint pain.... idk..almost thougth i was going to have to go to the hospital one morning because my lower abdominal area (not just the right or left side) felt soo horribly painful. it happens occasionaly. its a slow stabbing pain that slowly gets worse over a period of 10 or so seconds, stays bad for about a minuite or 2, then slowly subsides. then comes back but eventually goes away usually doesnt last for more than a half hour max.

Its a ruling out of cross reactivity of 31 band with EBV. Its just one band though.

I had that about a year before getting really down.
Don't put much faith in the confirmation test. It can be skewed in there are virus' in play. I was
worried because mine was neg I did not have it. But doc said Yes you do have it.

did not have lyme? Idk this muscle pain is real, my mom says its because of "stress" idk about that. I am stressed BECAUSE of the muscle pain, yes there is college and trying to get a good job but this just istn normal. and then there is the occasional twitching. it hasnt been as bad these last 2 or so months but before that for about 3 or so months it happened a lot more, and it nEVER used to happen before...
i havent had any "brain fog" or weird electric sensations or tingling but sometimes on the undersides of my arms it hurts ever so slightly when i light streak my finger across the skin... it seems weird.. not really bad or painful but not normal. it may be a occasional normal thing but idk.

My blood work was great. Doc said I was just depressed. I was depressed because I was sick and
getting a little sicker every day. Don't wait around to see a LLMD till you are in a wheelchair. I would take that 31 band and run to a LLMD.

Here is the link for Igenex's explanation of the 31 kDA epitope confirmation test...
I had it done and mine was positive. My IgG band 31 was IND (indeterminite). My IgG band 30 was +.
I just clicked on the link and it takes you to a general page so....on the left side of the page click on "lyme disease" and then click on "30-31 kDA confirmation"
