These are my Igenx lab results taken back in March of this year. Im not crazy right? They are actually positive right? If so, then I have to fight the Lyme right? If so, how in the world am I supposed to know whether its Lyme or yeast?? How can one tell if a herx is real or if its just the antibiotics "feeding" the yeast somemore? Im rambling, but seriously, can someone REALLY explain these results to me in plain English?
Go to IGeneX website and read their western blot information. Igenex test results
The somewhat-specific Lyme antibodies of importance are against the following molecular weights of the B. burgdorferi antigens: The somewhat-specific Lyme antibodies of importance are against the following molecular weights of the B. burgdorferi antigens: 23-25 kDa (Osp C); 31 kDa (Osp A); 34 kDa (Osp B); 39 kDa; 41 kDa; and 83-93 kDa7. "kDa" is the abbreviation for "kilodalton," which is used for molecular weight designations. "Osp" refers to outer surface protein of the bacteria "kDa" is the abbreviation for "kilodalton," which is used for molecular weight designations. "Osp" refers to outer surface protein of the bacteria
Your IGM.....which is indicative of recent infection: **23-25 positive 31 & 39 are equivocal 41 is positive

Most LLMDs will treat even if you had 1 of the "big 3" CDC bands positive. You have two of those (they are the double asteriks bands), and a positive result for Bart...you will definately be treated.

18 23 30 31 34 37 39 83 93 are Borrelia-specific bands. +/- means it was not negative. There was "something" seen for that band. You show 18, 23, 30 (very strong), 31, 34, 39, 93. The only ones you don't show is 37 and 83. I think this is a very positive test.

Thanks. I am always second guessing this diagnosis. I had never asked anyone's opinion on here before about my test results, so I was curious what everyone thought.

Nal, I hate to tell you this but you have LYME disease. I'm not even a LLMD and I see it. But I'm not a quacker. lol
Take care, Pam

LOL Pam. I knew it was true, but with the state I have been in recently I had to make sure.

Don't you be hitting on my patients now. lol
