hello,
i have some questions for you all. i have not been diagnosed with lyme but i just had a bunch of tests ran and am looking for some advice. i had something called a cd57 panel done and both of those results came back low. i had a lot of other tests done which all came back negative or normal except for the cd57 and M pnuemoniae which was slightly elevated. my doctor said i do not have lyme, which i am hoping is true, but i am wondering what else this could indicate? i do have ankylosing spondylitis but that is the only diagnosis i have. any feedback or thoughts would be helpful.. i have not been feeling well for months, with weird symptoms and am trying to figure it out.

thanks!

Have you been tested for co-infections?

This is the lab requisition form for Stanford to give you an idea of what else to test for (ignore the highlights). You might want to do the enterovirus too:

Here's info about Mycoplasma. Mycoplasma Pneumoniae is most common in North America.

Unless you have seen a Dr well-versed in Lyme disease, then the jury is still OUT on what you have.

Do not stop until you get a Western Blot test thru Igenex Lab. (and do not stop until you see an LLMD)

www.igenex.com Test #188 and 189

Lots of info here:
