....on antibiotics?

Please, does anyone know what it means when the IgG antibody rises up to 1:254 from 1>84 (slightly elevated) after being on antibiotics for 5 months?

IgM antibody is 1<84.

Is this a good sign or a bad sign, or irrelevant?

So confused. [shake]

I went on their website and they said that 10% can get a less than 1:254 result but be otherwise healthy due to cross reactivity. O% of the healthy population gets 1:254 that are healthy.

We have had a pos PCR in the past for this. I'm assuming it means we are still infected.

But I cannot understand why it goes up on meds,i.e, meds not working or are they and her immune system is now recognizing and reloading to help in the fight.

Whenever I ask if we are feeling better I get "I don't know". How is that possible. Either we are or we are not, no?
