Hi -

I have been suffering with a multitude of symptoms for the past 8 months or so. I have tested negative for lymes with the Quest test 3 times.

I decided to have the IgeneX test done. It came back stamped "negative" so I just tried to put lymes out of my mind. I was feeling good for a while and then starting having symtpoms again. I pulled out my IgeneX results to have another look. On the IgG test band **41kDa was +. On the IgM test badn **41kDa was "IND".

Does this mean it's possible that I may have lymes?

Thanks for your help!!

Also you should get a cd-57 test this test measures cd-57 the killer cells of your immune system. which are low in lyme and aids patients only. it will be low after about a year of infection.
Another test gaining popularity amongst physicians treating Lyme patients one of the antigen tests, CD-57. For information on the use of the test Lyme patients, please read Long-Term Decrease in CD-57 Lymphocyte Subset in Patients with Chronic Lyme by Stricker, Burrascano and Winger. Your physician can order the Stricker NK Panel CD-57 from Labcorp (who recently purchased IDL, the lab that developed this particular test). If your physician or lab has questions about this test, they can call LabCorp at 510-635-4555.
