Help with results of elispot and seraspot immunoblot

I think you do have Lyme. - weak positive is a positive.
People are negative and still have lyme.

I don't see a band - what band was it?

"borrelia seraspot igM: very weak positive"

It's positive - I'm assuming you have symptoms consistent with LD and/or tick bite, bulls-eye rash - and that's why you pursued testing?

i never had a rash, my symptoms are vague, i ve been bitten by a tick 2 years ago in a vacation in Australia, i wasnt sick after the tick bite the tick just stayed on my skin for 2 days then i removed it, after 6 months i started having a tingling on top of my had then it expanded in my whole had i started having muscle twiching all over the body tingling all over, tinnitus, vibrations, tons of floaters, depersonalization, and i feel a weight over me, mood swings and a lot of other things cognitive problems equilibrum problems psychiatric problems, it seems that i cant cope with space around me they are really weird feelings i cant focalize well on the tasks, i seem just like stuck in my body, im testing for lyme beacause mri and many other analysis are negative, i have a weird brain pet result though which reported hipometabolism on cerebellum and thalamus and hipermetabolism in aother regions and dishomogeneity on putamens

my infectous disease doctor have me on doxy for 2 weeks but i dont see results yet

my symptoms are vague, i have muscle twitching all body along with tingling a weight feeling on head tons of floaters blurred vision night blindness, fatigue, anxiety and many more.

i just dont know if these weakly posiive results mean definitely that i have lyme or not

2 weeks of treatment isn't long enough to see much of a response. These bacteria replicate very slowly in the body - once every 3 - 6 weeks, instead of the minutes or hours it takes most bacteria to replicate.

Most people won't see any results until week 3 - 6, and some not until much longer.

I do hope your doctor intends on adding another abx soon or will be changing your protocol soon. Doxy is known to encourage the bacteria to hide out more.

So I think maybe I should run the normal western blot, anyway i keep doing doxy and wait for result till now nothing seized

Well, I have those issues. My symptoms would come and go at first, but they got to a point where they were with me constantly, like now. None of them are too serious at this point, but they do keep me at home and not doing much due to pain or exhaustion usually.

We have to remember, there really are no "typical" Lyme symptoms. They are often varied and sometimes change, and sometimes stay the same.

No, there really isn't any "typical Lyme symptoms", as it can present with purely joint issues, or purely muscle issues, purely gastro issues, purely psychiatric issues and so on. Some usually have some combination of symptoms, but not always. I started seeing this several years ago, as I've been on this forum for 9 1/2 years now, so I've watched a LOT of people come through posting their symptoms.

Yes, I was seemingly 100% healed - and was living life! I LOVED it!! But, family stress brought on adrenal stress that "suddenly" advance to a dangerous level and I was diagnosed a year later with severe adrenal fatigue (1 step above developing Addison's according to my doc) and my thyroid crashed as well. It was during this time that I had another tick attach (while I was grocery shopping!!! UGH!) and it was about 20 minutes before I could get to a bathroom to lift my shirt and pluck that little bugger off!

And that was the beginning of my second go-round with these infections. That was about 2 years ago. Treating these infections causes stress on the body, and that makes my adrenals and thyroid very unhappy, and so it's been a very slow process to try to heal this time around.

hey people just wondering if any of you have this weird symptom: sometimes almost in mornings i feel out of balance while walking feel just like im walking on ice like i could "slip" from the ground and i feel the need to grip on something in order not to fall, i think its kind of vertigo or balance problem if it has rained i have to put a lot of effort to stay still. it was just a curiosity

Had symptoms for 2 years gradually worsened, i dont have a llmd in Italy i have an infective doctor that gave me doxy just for 3-4 weeks i think i did it only to make me happy a she thinks that if i dont have lyme doxy just woulnt work, so He could say: you dont have lyme

Never herxed actually
