you can put the results up here.You usually need 5 positive bands on the IGG part or 3 on the IGM I think.Remember these test stink more than the doctors that misdiagnosed you.Did you get tested for co-infections,those tests stink too but you need to get as many clues as you can.Tests should be sent to certain labs also,Igenex and MDL are good.Joe
