Just got back from my LLMD recheck. Recheck bloodwork unremarkable.


Got home and there was a message on the machine....


Apparently the lab sent over more results after I left ( of course) and my C3d immune complex was high. The range was 0-8 and I am a 10.


Can anyone tell me what the C3d immune complex is and what it indicates?

Thanks!

My result was >111 mcg/ml reference range 0-8.

I was told that it is common to see this elevated in lyme disease. Apparently mine is higher than is usual even for those with lyme disease.

I was told my results meant that we were killing lots of bugs but the debri was not getting out of my cells.

I was started on drainage remedies and that did help some although it made me feel even sicker at first. Might be because my levels were so high.

This is something I found on it and lyme.
