Can someone interpret my testing. I'm suffering daily yet my Lyme Western Blot from Igenex is Negative My LLMD states I do have Neuroborreliosis. I'm confused need explanation this is what test bands are indicating **23-25 kDa IND **31 kDa IND **41 kDa IND I want a clear definitive answer because of Neg results, medical docs will not administer treatment. I need a local medical doc to check vitals every 4 wks. Does IND mean Almost positive? This is LLMD interpretation.
Will eventually after antibiotics my test will reveal Positive? I've been suffering for 2 yrs.

I would'nt worry about your test results too much.
I would much rather trust a good llmd with a clinical diagnosis.
If you read your test report. Somewhere on it will tell you that a negative test result does NOT rule out INFECTION.
It is sometimes very difficult to get a positive test due to circumstances you will become familiar with as time goes by.
What have you got to lose?
If it were me I would listen to my llmd.
and be glad I had one!

Treat keep treating did your llmd put you on abx's before giving western blot? How long do you think you were infected?
