OK - I called again and got the full report. Remember, this is not with an LLMD (it's an MS specialist - that was their best guess up to this point). Also, this report is from LabCorp. They only report Absent and Present - no values, etc.
Western Blot IgG - All bands Absent
Western Blot IgM P41 - Present P39 - Absent P23 - Present Lyme IgM WB Interp. - Positive
So, last week the nurse said the ELISA was positive twice but the Western Blot was negative and they've schedule me for a spinal tap to look for other things.
What say you?!
Thanks!!!

adunkin, this is JUST a friendly suggestion, but could you please post this in your existing thread? I replied to you there, as did some other people. Our replies are still relevant to this test as well.
This board moves way too quickly to start a new thread when you already have a relevant one. I only tell you this so you can get the most help possible - people get easily lost among the multitude of posts. We are almost all sick and struggle to reply to each other's posts when we are able.
Also, please see my post in your other thread in reference to your Western Blot information here. Very important info there - from several people.
Thanks!
Oh, by the way, if you want to put this info in your beginning post on that thread, you can edit your original thread post by clicking the pencil and pad/edit icon.
And by the way - that WB result is full of Lyme species-specific bands. Please see my post for more. I would answer you again here but my brain is about to collapse for today.

sorry - i personally only read the most recent ones and figured it was helpful to post a new thread when the details of the conversation had changed significantly.
