CD8-CD57 lymphs??

Hello everyone!

I recently got CD8-CD57 lymph results back... mine were 44. The normal range is 60-360, and anything lower than that is supposedly indicative of chronic lyme. Does anyone know if this is true? Or what else might cause this number to be low?

A short summary of my symptoms...I have been sick for over a year with terrible headaches 24/7, neck pain and stiffness, anxiety, insomnia, inability to concentrate/brain fog, and a variety of other symptoms. Some weeks I have insane amounts of nervous energy and am panicky all day, and then the next week I will be so fatigued I can barely lift my arms to take a shower. It seems to cycle between the two with no happy medium. Just overall feeling awful and I don't know what to do. I am 21 years old and am in college but have had to withdraw because I cannot focus and am in so much pain all the time. I have seen general practice doctors, a neurologist, a psychiatrist, an osteopathic dr, a therapist, an endocrinologist, a nutritionist, and an integrative doctor. I have tried various SSRI's, migraine medication, botox injections for the headaches, anxiety meds, and a ton of supplements. Nothing has helped :(

I got a western blot test done and the only reactive band was the 41 IGG band. Overall I was negative according to the western blot, but I'm not sure if having the 41 band reactive is significant?

Basically I am wondering... would a Lyme diagnosis make sense based low CD8-CD57 lymphs, a reactive 41 band, and the symptoms I am having? ANY input from anyone would be so greatly appreciated! Thank you so much! :)

thank you very much for the reply Girlie! I have an appt to see a Lyme specialist in about two weeks so I am trying to some research before hand so I can come in armed with some knowledge and any questions a may have.

Anybody else have any more knowledge or experience with the CD8-CD57 lymphs and the 41 KD IGG band as diagnostic tools?

Also, is it normal to have an increase in allergies if you have lyme? My allergies have been so terrible... eyes are always bloodshot red and itchy, and my EOS count is extremely high (15 when normal range is 0-4), indicating allergy or infection, I believe. When I become the slightest bit overheated,I sweat profusely, become lightheaded, and my symptoms increase. It's like my body is begging me to stay at a moderate temperature. Does this type of heat intolerance sound characteristic of Lyme?

Sorry I have so many questions, I am just so frustrated and confused as to what the heck is wrong with me. I sincerely appreciate any responses, I am so glad that I found this online forum it is so helpful to hear from people you have had similar experiences! Thank you :)

The eosinophils could also be due to parasites, like Babesia.
