I see my Dr. on Monday, in the mean time her nurse called to tell me my Igenex results. She told me they were positive, but when I called her back she told me she wasn't sure and to talk to the Dr. so I am very very confused and sad. I have been looking for an answer for 7 years and hearing a positive was, unfortunately, music to my ears.
On my IgG I had: 41++ 58+ 39 IND
So this was stated as Negative
My IgM was:
18++ 30+ 31++ 34+ 39+ 41++ 83 IND 93 IND
She first told me this meant positive, but the 2nd call she said she didn't know.
My PCR was positive
My Lyme Immuno Assay was Equivolent
Does anyone know what this means?
Thank you!

You are ragingly positive!! (Is that a word??) Then to have a positive PCR as well.. well....
She may have meant that BOTH the IgG and IgM are not positive. But that does not matter. You are likely not CDC positive, but they have ridiculous qualifications for that.
So.... find an LLMD right away. You need help! I am so glad you finally found the answer to your problems. It will not be an easy journey, but you CAN get well!

Wow! You're absolutely positive!
You need to find an LLMD ASAP and start treatment right away.
It looks like your immune is still strong-if one can base immune health on antibody response.
The sooner you can begin treatment the better.
Dr. B's guidelines are at the top of this forum-study them and ensure the treatment you're getting and the other advice in Dr. B's guidelines you're following.

Thank you both so much! My Dr. called back and explained some things too me and said I was positive through CDC guidelines and Igenex which was good to hear.. I was scared that I wasn't positive at all.
I am seeing an LLMD in the city below me and she has been great through this whole process. I see her again on Monday to go over my options. She is letting me decide on whether I was to start with natural or do ABX. I am scared of ABX because I always have reactions to it with my vision (since that is the main part that has been affecting me).

Thanks!!! I am better that is it!! It's funny because the start of me getting sick was after taking some oxygen supplement for detox in 2006 then it all hit the fan. Just so happy to finally have an answer!
