Hello all. Been sick for about 6 months, strongly suspect lymes. I got my test from Igenx back, it was a negative but positive on several bands. Now I'm just not sure what to think and I don't see my doctor for another two weeks. How would you interpret these results;

18; negative
22; negative
23-25; Indeterminate
28; negative
30; negative
31; Indeterminate
34; negative
39; indeterminate
41; ++
45; +
58; +
66; negative

Any insight you can provide me with is greatly appreciated.

kirk you were cdc neg but igex Pos Right

the bands 41+ and the 23IND most point to you having lyme

i don't know if you want this news or not, but it sure looks like lyme to me you really need to get to a LLMD

best of luck

I think Scott is right .. isn't your IgG positive?

Print this out and read it carefully .. it explains a LOT in laymen's terms....

Kirk, I am so glad you found it.

Now you can prepare to get well. Many here find they get worse on treatment before they get better.

There are things you can do to help in the fight.

Like have ready to eat meals, electrolyte replacement drinks, etc.
Many take things like vitamins etc to try to help build the body up for the fight. Hope you feel

like reading old posts or just ask if you have questions.

Prayers for a easy road.
