RMSP antibody tests is negative but shows .30 (.85 is positive) - does this mean anything?
Sed rate was 27 this time around - last time it was normal.
flagged high on basophil % in serum and leuk. ester in urine.
Everything else was within normal limits.
Anyone have any insight? Am I going to die, or what?

RMSP titer of .3 when .85 is positive is a clearly negative result. I wouldn't worry about this if I were you.
Sed rate of 27 is not really that high...I've had a sed rate as high as 102 and I'm still alive to talk about it, LOL! Sed rate is just a generic marker for inflammation (usually chronic more so than acute inflammation). Lyme and coinfections are known to increase inflammation in the body through a number of different mechanisms (direct action on the immune system, direct action on body cells/tissues, immune response to the infection, etc.). Treatment for Lyme/coinfections should bring this down to normal eventually.
Basophils are a type of white blood cell. The percentage being high is meaningless without knowing the absolute cell count along with it.
You are not going to die with these numbers...

I don't know what an absolute cell count is or where I would find that.
