I believe I have had Lyme for several years. Not sure when it started. No tick (?). Possible Lyme meningitis - which I just recently learned was an actual thing that exists- from a possible 2nd tick bite.
Symtoms have interfered to varying degrees with the quality of my life. Have also recently learned about "herxing" and am wondering about my curious reactions to antibiotics the last couple of years.
Western Blot was "normal" only one band was reactive, awaiting the results of another Western Blot test that was done when I saw a different MD - at about the same time -- I didn't realize I had the same test done twice in the same month!
It's a good thing though, because I'm curious to see if it will show different results.
I am sure there is an LLMD in my area that I can see, I think it's time. The best I get from MD and Rheum. is that there is definitely "something rheumatological" going on. My only concern is insurance coverage.
Thanks, everyone, for being here!

Unfortunately, no. Neither one was not done at igenex.
I have a copy of one lab report and am awaiting the other result. Band #'s 31, 34 and 83 weren't even tested and I have read that they're significant.
I am guessing the lab report is a reading of the data with the +/-, IND, etc...
I have lots of "nagatives" and one "reactive".
(...and lots of symptoms!)
Wow, this can be overwhelming sometimes.
No, I don't believe I did receive a newbie package yet.
Carly.
