I'm starting to think there aren't any.

2009 - embedded tick with EM rash

Western Blot through Quest shows 23 and 41 Igm reactive and Igm positive for Lyme.

My doctor thinks that I "had Lyme" but cleared my body on it's own, since igg didn't react and only 23 and 41 reacted for Igm. I need a second opinion.

Also, is it ever possible to clear the disease without treatment? Am I superhuman?!

Considering you reacted to Band 23 and have symptoms, I would have to say that no, your body didn't clear the infection.

IgM means an active infection - not that it's only for "early" infection.

I do have some referrals in your area - did I share these with you yet? If not, I apologize!!!!

Hey Trav!

You did give me two. One doesn't take insurance, and the other is the brother of my doctor, so I'd like to see him as a last resort.

I have a couple of leads in Pennsylvania and southern ohio that I'm going to try today.

Thanks for your help!

Have you checked out the two in Hermitage PA?
They both use to take insurance but it's been a long time since I have had an update on them...

Rachel1200,

My LLMD has two locations one in Worthington and the other in Seven Hills (near Cleveland). Send me an email and I'll give you his info, he's great. He doesn't file the insurance papers for you but he will give you a print out to submit. He is out of my insurance network but we still go to him because he's helping me get better.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
