Just got my Igenex results back and am wondering what the results mean, exactly. Have and appt with LLMD in area, but not for another month. I know people can not diagnose on website, but interested in your opinions as I am new to this and pretty scared/overwhelmed. Trying to stay in a positive place. The waiting is very hard.

I have MANY signs of Lyme in addition.

My mom is very sick with many of the same symptoms I am presenting with. Here are her results of her tests. Hers do not seem as clear cut. Would be interested in opinions for her, too. Oh, she has an appt with an LLMD in the next month, too.

I appreciate any thoughts you may have. I am really struggling with all this and am trying to advocate for both of us so we can get proper help. We have both been to many drs. and they don't know what to think. They don't make anything of the fact that my mom and I are both presenting with many of the same symptoms (they say our cases are completely unrelated, although, we think otherwise). My immunologist who helped me with igenex testing also says I have a fungal/yeast infection in gut and some mycoplasma co-infections. He put me on Flagyl for the gut issues and to get my diarrhea under control (250 mg 3 times daily). I have been on it 3.5 days now and just this morning starting to feel kind of sick. Diarrhea is worse, very dizzy, worse brain fog, fatigue. Do you think I could be herxing? I have been doing the therapy baths and have myself on candida diet. Taking vitamin supplements, as well. I am a mom of two little girls (4 years and 7 months) and want to get better to help take care of them.
Thanks for your advice and responses.
