Hi,

I tested with Advanced. I received a written notice two weeks after testing.

To paraphrase it said: Patient's blood is positive for spirochetal growth of Bb. Hard copy to follow.

Two weeks later, I received photos of the cultured Bb in my blood.

Thanks debilyn!

I should also ask folks - Did you have difficulty getting a definitive test before using the Advanced Labs test?

Hi, I tested negative with Advanced Labs after 10 weeks. My Western Blot was positive for IgM bands 23 and 39 though. What that means, I'm still trying to determine.

For me, the Advanced Labs is the first test I took for lyme. So I had the definitive, CDC positive before I did the Western Blot.

I'm not even sure what my WB says for Bb. It did say I have zero co-infections, but I have a not-so-subtle, hideous Bart rash on my forearms.
