Hello everyone,
A few weeks ago I posted in this forum for the first time to talk a little bit about my symptoms and background story of how I think I may have contracted Lyme. Well I sent away to Igenex for an IgM and IgG western blot and the IgM has come back positive. If anyone here is skilled in interpreting western blot results I would love some feedback. Is it possible the bands that I tested positive for could be a false positive, reacting to say EBV and so forth, or is this more likely a sure thing considering all my symptoms as previously stated. Here are the results for the IgM which did test positive:
IGENEX IGM RESULT: POSITIVE
CDC/NYS RESULT: POSITIVE
18 kDa: -
** 23-25 kDa: -
28 kDa: -
30 kDa: -
**31 kDa: IND
**34 kDa: -
**39 kDa: +
**41 kDa: ++
45 kDa: -
58 kDa: -
**83-93 kDa: IND
