Western blot test now negative

Hoping someone can please help

Got a western blot test just over two years ago that tested positive for chronic Lyme disease with about 8 bands. I now got my results back and now I tested negative for igg and igm.

I don't see my doctor for a couple weeks. I still feel sick and have a lot of symptoms. Does this mean I no longer have Lyme but something else is wrong with me?

Thanks

Hi Fugo,
Unfortunately, a negative WB really means very little. There are a number of reasons why it's turned negative - including the bacteria turning into it's cystic form or hiding out in biofilms, and your immune system just not responding to the bacteria any longer. Your symptoms will tell the real story.

I do hope that you are still in treatment. If not, we can help you find another doctor.

Please let us know what happens at your next appt!

Did your doc say C-Diff? That's one that can be caused by taking too many abx or being on strong ones for too long.

Were you or are you now taking probiotics or using kefir? That's essential for those on high doses of abx.

Were you detoxing? That is essential for us to heal as well.

You can switch to herbal/natural treatments that are very effective as well. Many have found that by combining both abx and herbs, their treatments move along much better.

How are your intestines now? Are you still using kefir? If so, how much a day would you say you are using?

Are you detoxing now? If not, would you consider starting? I can post links showing how it's important if you would like to see them.

When do you see your doc again?

I'm sorry that you don't like to do the detoxing, but it will really help. Would you like me to list some sites that show you need to detox? I always wanted to see the articles myself, so if that's the case for you as well, I understand. If it makes you feel any better, I always disliked it as well.

Good move on getting away from the diet soda! That stuff is really, really unhealthy for a person.
