My thoughts - you are positive so I would seek out treatment.
Many of those you are showing + or ++ are Lyme specific so good evidence that your immune system has been exposed to the Lyme bacteria.

Many with lyme find that bartonella, babesia, ehrlichia and mycoplasma are problematic as well. Please test for these infections, or make an appointment with an ILADS-trained LLMD for a clinical diagnosis.

Thanks for the replies! When I became suspicious of possible Lyme disease I found a LLND and I am currently on antibiotics.
She diagnosed based on symptoms etc. while waiting for test results. Now that I have them, I'm was curious as to whether my actual test results validated a Lyme diagnosis.
This group does such a great job giving insight interpreting test results that I figured I would give it a shot.
The test results showed IGM was positive for both Igenex and CDC but the IGG was negative. I guess the IND's for IGG put it into the negative category.
It sure would have been easier if those IND's were + so I would have been positive on all counts.

IGM shows active infection so I wouldn't worry about the IGG not being positive. You are actually very fortunate to have a positive get because many people don't.
