Hi All,

So far ive had 2 ELISA tests, both came back with "weakly positive" results.

I then had the below test results today... Any opinions? Im seeing a LLMD in 3 days time and its costing €300... im wondering should i bother going now? PLz help

Ive had nearly everything on the list of lyme disease symptoms incl heart arrhythmia.

Head to toe with MRi and blood tests all perfect?

I would say push the "Indeterminate" on the test and the "weakly positive" aspect - hard. How do you get any response to a bacterium specific test if you don't have the bacteria in your body?

Since you have all of the symptoms and have been checked for other possibilities - if they still won't do anything to help you, don't wait around for the medical community to suddenly get educated about these infections and start using a natural protocol that you can do on your own.

Hi Jetski,

Yes! You should definitely go to see the LLMD! Absolutely. No question.

There are so many reasons for not testing positive. Your immune system might not be good enough to produce antibodies. The lab might not be adequate. You might not have tested at an optimal time. You may want to test through IGENEX.

An IND should be considered positive because something is showing up. That means it is very likely that you have Lyme. It's like being sort of pregnant. Either you are or you're not. I had a positive ELISA (not super strong). Then, I had a positive IGENEX Lyme test. See also:

An LLMD can diagnose you and treat you based on clinical symptoms. An LLMD will also know the best place for you to get tested. I'm not sure about international shipments for IGENEX, but they likely can do it. It is best to send blood early in the week so it does not sit around for too long. It might be more expensive to ship your blood, but they probably would do your tests. Just ask the LLMD.

I know the cost of seeing an LLMD is expensive and stressful. But don't ignore your symptoms. You don't want to get worse or live like this when you can get better with treatment. I'm so grateful that someone strongly urged me to get to an LLMD. Now, it's my turn to encourage you to go. Trust me. Keep us posted and good luck. :)
