I got my lab results from Stony Brook in NY.
IGM- 18 and 72 detected
IGG, 39, 41 and 64

Lymphs are low and SEGS are high.

Any thoughts?

No INDs? We need to see them also.

It's hard to tell what the IND are. I think they are the IGM 18, 72 and the IGG 64 and the IGG 39, 41 are positive. I don't like Stony Brooks format.

39 is lyme-specific..
18 is highly specific to Lyme (Many LLMD's say if this band alone is positive, you have lyme).

Looks to me like it's probably lyme.

Yes, band 39 alone says you have it.

Time to print out Dr C's Western Blot Explanation and start reading it. Lots of good info there! [Smile]

Stony Brook does not have IND's, for those that did not know.

That's weird since the wrote it as indeterminate. Maybe they changed their process?
