Everything I find in Google tells me it's a respiratory infection, so could someone please tell me what it is in relation to ticks and its symptoms? I was just told by my LLMD today that I tested positive for that, does that mean I don't have Lyme or I definitely do (My LabCorp ELISA IgG and IgM were both positive for it, and my LabCorp WB had both IgG and IgM band 23 present abnormal so that was called neg. by my primary)? I thought Igenx tests take longer than 3 or 4 days to get results, today is Friday and I just had my blood drawn this past Tuesday; or does Labcorp do Mycoplasma testing?

HELP, SO CONFUSED!?

Ticks can carry MANY diseases. This is another one of them.

I don't know how long it takes to get the test results back.

I just tested positive for this. I broke down crying in my doctors office because I can't believe I have another infection to deal with.

I also am interested in what symptoms people have here on Lymenet. I don't seem to present the symptoms online.

Can someone tell me that this is not that big of a deal so I can chill out? I wonder if it is possible that I got it from the sauna I bought. I bought it from a woman that was very ill and had lung problems.

Is that possible?
