I have been treated since June 06 at the FFC for EBV, HHV, and candida and then in Oct 06 was treated for cpn and mycoplasma (doxy- 400 mg/day). I retook my labs and there was no change and no change with my symptoms either. I went off of the antibiotics for 10 days and took the igenex test for lyme. Results were:
IGM- IND for band 31 and 39. IGG- 28 + 41 +++ 23-25 IND 39 IND
Do you think that by being on the abx for so long that the test is not showing a strong positive??? I have never been diagnosed with lyme but always suspected it even though previous quest labs showed negative.
I am wondering what the doctor will say?

That said, lyme is a clinical diagnosis. You need to be evaluated by an ILADS LLMD. You also need to be evaluated for co-infections which are also clinical diagnosis and will require different treatment than anything you've been taking from FFC. Terry

IND on 31 and 39 is suggestive of Lyme

I have IND on 31 and 39 too. On my first Western blot they were they only bands IND, now I have almost all of them IND and positive at 41 on the IGM.
