JUST RECEIVED ELISA AND WESTERN BLOT RESULTS, ELISA 1.56 NEGATIVE IGG BUT REATIVE/POSITIVE TO IGM BANDS 23 AND 41. DOES ANYONE HAVE INPUT ON THIS? DOES THIS MEAN DEFINATE POSITIVE RESULTS FOR LYMES? HAVE HAD SEVRAL SYMPTOMS FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS OR IS THIS A FALSE POSITIVE? THANKS

No doubt you have Lyme IMO. I'd seek a LLMD for help/treatment.

I would say yes to Lyme also. And seek a LLMD.
If you are still in doubt you can do a antibiotic
challenge and retest with Igenex for a better
picture. They did request no antibiotics in system
for at least 10 days and a LLMD can help you with
this also. My first test was only reactive on one
band unable to identify and this was in 07 and I
went on to not being able to walk. So I would not
dismiss this as I did not know this until March
09 when I picked up my old records to take to my LLMD.

Dear ohioRN, I only had one positive band as well. It was on the 41kDa band on the IgM. I also had two IND bands on the 41kDa on the IgG and the 31kDa on the IgM. This appears to be a bit suspicious. An LLMD feels I do have Lyme.
There is so much more info that you should eventually read.
You will learn alot by reading posts here and posting questions.
