My first western blot, when I was sooo sick was of course negative except for a few IND bands and 1 or 2 + bands.

I got back to 100% after a few years (traditional abx) and was off abx for 6 months and relapsed.

I just got retested-practically every band was +.

Does this mean a new infection or just I reacted stronger?

thanks

New to this lyme thing...my western is the same as your first one so I cannot even answer this for you.

Hope this moves your post up and you get a response. Were the positive IGG or IGm or both?

Only the IGM was positive I think-few bands on the IGG
