Hi All-

I promised I'd post these here with an update and to get feedback on interpretation of the results. Not sure what to think...

IGenex:
Lyme Disease
Serum Titer- Negative
Multiplex Serum- Negative
Multiplex whole blood- Negative
WB IgM
23-25 I
41 I
58 +
83-93 +
WB IgG
41 ++

ISpotLyme
Negative (LLMD says these are 85-90% accurate? I thought these are best used for accute infections)

Previous Labcorp WB this summer
IgM neg
IgG
41 +
58 +
66 +

Any thoughts on how/why the 2 are so different? Should I see this as Lyme or a possible cross reacting virus? My LLMD was quite sure of Lyme but after these latest results doesn't seem so sure...

Thanks for any guidance here.

Forgot to include that both IgM and IgG considered IGenex and CDC negative...

Band 23-25 (I) and 83-93 (+) are lyme specific.

I don't see it as a cross-reacting with a virus.


Remind us - what are your symptoms, and history...known tick bite? rash...

LLMD's should be doing a clinical diagnosis...and testing is only a back-up to that diagnosis.

Thanks Girlie

No known tick bite but exposure. Got sick about a year ago after mountain trip. Started with neck pain, head pressure and pain. Fatigue then very stiff painful neck within a few weeks.
Since then all the classic stuff:
- dizziness, brain fog, numbness and tingling, eye floaters, all over muscle twitching, weight loss, hair loss, cardio symptoms, shortness of breath, red spots on torso, foot pain, horrible leg, arm and shin pain, etc....

Have started IV immunotherapy (ozone, peroxide, vit c, etc) with some success. Looking into Buhner protocol as I prefer natural over conventional.

Just wanted to pop in and agree with Girlie. You have 2 Lyme specific bands (23- 25 & 83-93), so there's no doubt you have Lyme.

These infections can be passed by mosquitoes and other insects as well - it doesn't take a tick attaching to get them.

There's a lot of knowledge about the Buhner Protocol on this forum...so please don't hesitate to ask questions...about any of the herbs ...or protocols.

Thanks everyone. Going to order some herbs tonight. Using Buhner's recommended sources and book. A comfort to know there's good help on here. Funny where life takes you when you least expect it...

Thoughts and prayers to all of you and your families.

Sounds good, Mokes.


....and thank you.

Mokes,

Prayers and hugs to you too.

Glad you got a positive reading. It makes things easier I think.

Are you detoxing?

Mokes, good luck and happy healing.

It is not fun. It requires patience. It is a journey and won't happen quickly.

But, I think you come out the other side so much wiser about your body, about where your heart is, and who your friends are.

I truly am so sorry you have lyme. I don't think anyone should get this disease and someday, maybe no one will......

Just wanted to welcome you, Mokes. Sorry you have lyme but you found a wonderful place for support and advice. Good luck and keep us posted.
