I am wondering if anyone can help me understand the test results I received. I understand the basic idea of what it is saying but...What is CDC/NYS? Does this mean it is most likely lyme or could it be another tick borne illness? Which test refers to the more advanced lyme? I don't have the money to go back to the LLD right now, as I already paid my last $700 and they want another $200 to go over the results.
Thank you so much!!

CDC is the Center for Disease Control and NYS is New York State. According to those 2, a person must have more bands to be considered positive. According to them you are IgG negative for Lyme. You have very strong lab work that suggests Lyme disease. My doctor would say you are most positive and would treat.

Maybe the 200 to go over the results would also include a treatment plan.

Have you tried lymetap.org for help with testing? I think you could still submit your bill and according to your financial need get full or partial testing.

Hopefully you can get some help!

Your IGM result is positive by both Centers for Disease Control AND IgeneX lab.

It is IGG positive for IgeneX lab only.

You have a positive test for Lyme disease.
