Since I got my positive igenex WB yesterday I've been doing a lot of reading and thinking about what step I should take next (in addition to the supplements and detox that my doctor is starting me on).
I really want to figure out with as much certainty as possible whether I am dealing with lyme, lyme and co, viral issues, chronic EBV, syphilis (I don't think so but that 41 band made me wonder?!), candida, et cetera.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good starting point with all of this? I am going to get the igenex coinfection panel done at my next appointment with my LLMD, so that should tell me more about babs, bart, etc... but what about viruses, fungus, and other parasites?
I feel like there are so many things I need to sort out/rule out and I don't know when to start!
If anyone has any good methodical strategies or can recommend specific tests etc to figure out what's going on with me in a bigger picture sense, I would really appreciate it!
Thank you!
Oh, and my IGM showed the following:
31 ++ 34 IND 39 IND 41 ++ 58 + 83 - 93 IND
...also any additional insight into any of those bands would be most appreciated (I have already read the basic WB explanation of their significance but am looking for more detailed info about each one).
