Hi everyone,
I was diagnosed with MS in 1990. Whew along time ago! I am rrms yet to see me you would never guess it. Had my ups and downs over the years, like most of us I'm sure. Anyway, after many hours of reading and help from Angels around me; I am happy to announce I am a patient of Dr. P in CT and today is my 1st day of antibiotics! I can say that after going over both blood tests and Western Blot (Igenex) I'm unhappy to report I had an Alert on one of the panels.

I have already felt like part of your wonderful community and look forward to keeping it touch.

By the way, I sent someone from another MS blog over to look for a Dr then pm'd yet another Angel, and noticed a response to her. What a wonderful place to visit. [Smile]

Hi,

I was dx'd with MS in May 2000, and am also a new patient of Dr. P, awaiting my Igenex results.

On a Quest test, I was positive only for band 41.

Did he give you a copy of his DVD regarding the MS/Lyme connection?

Hi,
Here's the blood test along with my CD57.
IgM
**23-25
**31 IND
**34
**39
**41 IND
**83-93

IgG
**23-25
30 +
**31 IND
**34 IND
**39
**41 ++
58 ++
**83-93

Also my CD57 is 21
Immune Complexes are: 14.3 That's what was at alert.
I'm a little unsure what these last two mean. If anyone can lend a hand with an explaination I would appreciate it.

Thanks, Tori

Tory,
I think you should post these WB results under Medical Questions. You'll get a lot more responses to you specific questions. Looks like you have Lyme to me!
