Some have said below 60 indicates likely mycoplasma going on as well. I'd say it's worse than "pretty bad" but better than "really really bad". Maybe it's "really bad".
Note that though my score has gone up and down a few times and treatment has stopped and started a couple times, the best scores have been about 1 month to maybe 2 months after stopping treatment, and then it goes downhill again. So, I really do think treatment lowers the score some (perhaps the bugs fighting harder?).
Anyway, just want to point out other factors like that do matter as well.
I try not to get too caught up on how bad the failing scores are, and just note that each time I get a failing score, I am sure I have more work to do.

I believe "normal range" is 60-360. My LLMD felt better when it reached 180.

I've heard this number can fluctuate daily and some Dr's don't even test for it.
I've had mine done 3 times and my numbers have never corresponded with how I felt at the time.

I agree with momintexas.
Fuel, yes, I wouldn't mind seeing it too. However with no LLMD, no insurance, and no money it's a mute point for me. Oh well. Maybe I'll just pick a number!
