Plus positive for anaplasmosis.  Dr says Lyme for sure, starting antibiotics plus diet and supplements today.  Its been over 25 years of feeling sick, can't wait to see what happens here.  Any thoughts on the blot test would help, not really sure whats what there...

was this IgM or IgG? (Probably IgM)

IgG, IGeneX...

oh, cool...I am no expert, but the IgG seems to represent the longer term infection, versus IgM which is more acute. I am sure others can comment better on this here, though.

Hi Youeek,
Love the screen name :)

You have many more positive, and indeterminate band than I had on my IgeneX Western Blot. Looks like you have an experianced LLMD, just wanted to wish you the best in your recovery.

Best wishes

Youneek!

Welcome to the forum. Good news, Bad news, eh? Good news you have a really clear diagnosis; bad news, you've got lyme disease.

Well it sounds like you have an experienced lyme doctor so you are in good hands. And you've found us so you have people in your corner. You are off to a good start. Happy healing!

If you haven't read the "New to Lyme?... Start here" thread at the top of the forum, please do. There is lots of supportive information that will help you get well. The section on detoxing is very beneficial.

Keep us posted about your progress.

Thanks, I'll update as time goes on. Hey cheezhead...go Packers. I'd be a bigger fan of Wis if the ticks there didn't give me Lyme, lol.
