I was just wondering if anyone knows their cd57 level, I have been struggling w/lyme disease for a long time, diagnosed officially one year ago, but diagnosed w/fibro 9 yrs ago. I still don't know if I have fibro or not, but I do know that my cd57 levels are a 2, and about six yrs ago it was at a 16.

I guess I'm trying to see if the cd57 levels are specific to lyme or if they could be low with just fibro too. If any one can let me know what theirs was i would appreciate it or even if you never had it done. thanks

I think this test is for Lyme disease. Here are a couple of links to explain this for you. The first link explains the test and the second is a study from the National Institutes of Health.

thanks guys- it's just hard for me right now trying to figure out what has been wrong w/me all these years. Yes I'm on the lyme forum too.

When I was being treated for fibro through the years my doc also did this test, so I thought maybe some of your guys fibro docs did it too, but I guess now they are finding it more specific to lyme.

thanks for the links.
