Ok so my llmd decided to run an extensive amount of blood work to test for other things such as co-infections.

I had the results faxed to me and he said we will discuss a course of action during my next visit (which is in a week)

So apparently right off the get go i had a positive ANA test, which he explained could be a false positive due to the lyme and it should be monitored.

I also tested positive for Chlamydia pneumonia, Mycoplasma and HHV6.

I tested negative for all other co-infections.

So my question is; can anyone shed some light on what this means?

I know a positive ANA is linked to autoimmune disease which is the route all my other doctors were leading before i found out about lyme.

I want to know more about the other things i tested positive for and how severe they are.

Any information would be greatly appreciated

The ANA test is cross reactive with Lyme. Your LLMD is correct. I had a positive test years ago but I never had lupus it was Lyme disease.

Same here. Positive ANA that is now negative due to lyme treatment. I would rule out lyme before accepting a lupus diagnosis.

Fairly common to have viruses such as HHV6 with lyme, fairly common to have mycoplasma with lyme, fairly common to have chlaymydia p. with lyme (although perhaps a little less common than the other two).

Chronic lyme is never just about the borrelia, there are always other things going on, infections like these are just part of the other things going on.
