I just received word that my Lyme Titer test came back positive. I was treated for Lyme disease in 1992 with 13 weeks of IV therapy. Well, now starts the roller coaster of treatment. When I previously had lyme I lived in NJ but now live in CA. The nurse informed me when I called to find out the results that there was another test that came back called IGM. Does anyone know what that is?

IgM and IgG are both measured with the Western Blot. I assume you did a WB and that there are two different immune cells that they measure. I am in San Jose, CA. Take a look at my web site below for my information on Lyme Disease. There is a Testing page there also and you can reach me via the site if you have other questions. Best
