IgM Resuls: 23-25 IND, 31+, 34+, 41+, 83-93 IND. Seems positive by Igenex standards but not CDC.

IgG Results: 31 IND, 41++, 58+. Negative by both igenex and cdc.

Anyone have similar results? If so, what's the treatment plan? I talk to my doctor next week but was just curious. I'm currently taking 250mg of azithromycin 2x daily and 300mg of cefdinir 2x daily

Thanks!

I had a whole bunch of IND ( about 5 bands) on my test and positive for 41 on both IgM and IgG. I took the test AFTER a two month cycle of doxy so Dr feels the IND's are relevent.

That's plenty of proof in my book!! Be sure to print out and read Dr C's Western Blot Explanation.

I'm similar but had more on my IgM and less on my IgG. See bands in my signature below.

31 and 34 only turn positive if you've had it for at least a year. So you've had it for a while. 83/93 is the DNA of Bb...so they found something.

I would say you have it.

Thanks Guys! I have a call with my doctor next Thursday so we'll see what she has to say but from what I've read, it does seem like a positive result.

My positive bands were 31, 34, 39IND, 41, and 58 and LLMD said definitely positive. I am still unsure, but I need to trust him. He said there aren't many false positives. He's one of the best LLMD's. He is treating me based on that and clinical symptoms/history of known tick bites.

Good luck!

I've been on the antibiotics for a little over three weeks now and I was starting to feel pretty good, much more energy. Then yesterday was a pretty bad day. Felt worse than ever! From what I read, sounds like it could be a herx?

I would call my doc and request something for yeast as well as a good probiotic to protect the bowels.

It is always a good idea to get records of your doctor visits before you see your LLMD as well as pics of any rashes that may pop up...

Prayers for a easy road.

Thanks! I went to see an LLMD a few weeks ago - that's where I had the "real" test done through igenex. I brought all my previous lab results, plus I had extensive MRIs - brain and entire spine. The LLMD also gave me a several probiotics and I'm taking those diligently. Thanks for all of your responses!!
