Still confused, still trying to understand my kids test results

Did you use Igenex as the lab for all the testing?

Do the kids have any symptoms?

How Can I tell if Igenex was used?

My kids have had various symptoms.

2 year old: irritable at times, sleep disruption at times, does not seem rested many times after she wakes up. Temper tantrums that result in head banging. There were times a few months ago where it looked like she was walking funny but nothing consistent.

8 year old: Irritable, hot tempered, low energy most of the time. Hand tremors noticed at first when he was four, developmental delays in pragmatic language and visual processing when he was four. Received speech and OT, (still receives OT). Taken to a neurologist, endocrinologist and neoropsycholgist because of symptoms. MRI with contrast found nothing, still follow up every 6 months with neurologist for tremors. Endocrine found premature adrenarche through bone age studies and bloodwork, follow up every six months. Muscle weakness and tremors noticed by OT at school, fatigue, tired when running in sports and gym diagnosed with mild intermittent asthma. Finished evaluation with neoropsychologist in the fall because last school year I was concerned he may be dyslexic, there were reversals, could not put thoughts to paper, problems writing, remembering, problems with hand eye coordination & mid-line crossing and hard time making decisions which all resulted in low self esteem and anger. Neuropsych found he was average to above average in everything except memory & No psycholgical issues found. Eye evaluation in the spring with optometrist found nearsightedness developing, told glasses in the near future. Complaints of headaches and stomach aches come and go. Doing much better in school this year but his temper is worse. Asthma also seems to be worse right now.

10 year old: some muscle pain in legs, pain in fingers & elbow joint (both recent). More of a high energy kid, hard time focusing sometimes but doesn't show it in school and has decent grades. Complaints of headaches some times.

If it was Igenex...the test results would look different. Instead of non-reactive/reactive, Igenex uses positive/negative/IND.

Also no WB done on your 2 year old son...there should have been one..with Igenex you would have ordered a WB for all children I'm thinking.
Looks like a lab that does a 2 tiered test - when ELISA (or IFA) is negative, they don't do the WB.

Thank you Girlie.
Next to each band it says Nonreactive/Nonreactive. Like this:
18 KD (Igg) Band NONREACTIVE Nonreactive

Except for that 41 band on my 10 year olds says:
41 KD (Igg) Band REACTIVE Nonreactive

So with mine, it goes like this:

18 KD (IGG) Band Reactive A Nonreactive P
23 KD (IGG) Band Reactive A Nonreactive P
28 KD (IGG) Band Reactive A Nonreactive P

and so on with Reactive A and Nonreactive P next to each band.

so does it look like mine was done with Igenex and theirs was not? and am I right by saying those on mine are all positive?

Mazerunner - all 3 of my kids have band 41 (igg) and my son also has 66, and my middle daughter 58, youngest just 41. All through labcorp. My son was tested through igenex a few wks ago so I'll update when I get results. If he's positive we will test the other 2 kids.

I found an Integrative practice near us that was willing to test. Of course insurance did not cover but they were less than some docs ($300 office visit). They initially did the elispot test on him which came back negative. I pushed for Igenex since I still didn't feel satisfied.

My kids do not have glaring issues. My son had a reaction to the meningitis vaccine (swollen groin lymph nodes, feeling unwell) and the pediatrician did not think it was a usual side effect. She thought he may have something else going on and I explained about my recent diagnosis which led them to test for Lyme through labcorp. Since he had 2 bands the pediatrician agreed to test my other 2 through labcorp.

My youngest (who is only showing band 41) did have a tick on her stomach when she was 5. It was very red around the tick but not a bulls eye. If I knew what I know now I would have gotten her on antibiotics ASAP. But we were told to watch for the fever and rash which never happened. Out of all my kids, she was the one I was most worried about. Her hands get a little shaky and she has very red palms and feet.

I agree! Keep me updated as well!
