Not sure how this process works, as I am just starting my Lyme journey.  I tested positive for IgG 41 only, but have crazy burning feet and somewhat on my hands.  I was also at a cottage a couple months before all this started and found a few ticks on me, though I don't recall an actual bite or bite marks.  No rash.

Going to see my normal doctor next week concerning the results (Flint area), he may be well versed on all this, but I won't know until then, and from what I understand, LLMD's take quite a while to get in to see, so I don't want to just wait around for weeks/months to see if my current doctor pans out.  He could actually be a LLMD, not sure.  

Anyway, does anyone know of a good one in the Mid Michigan area? 

I'm assuming I may have Bartonella, but maybe not Lyme, but again, I'm very very new to all this.

Thanks!

Hi Amadeus - Welcome to the forum.
I can't recall if your test was Igenex...or another lab.
The tests for lyme antibodies are not reliable...even the Igenex lab produces false negatives. If our immune systems are suppressed, they may not be producing enough antibodies for a positive result.

We can't post names of LLMD's on the forum...so for members to send you information, you will need to enable your email option.

To do this: Click on My Profile (blue bar - upper left of page), then click on Edit Profile, then scroll down to "show my email".

This forum is very supportive and will help you through this.

Ok, enabled the "Show my email" option.

My test was not Igenex. I had the basic Lyme test a couple months go, was negative. Was the basic "Lymes Antibody" test.

The one I just took had many of the bands, of which I tested positive for 41 IgG only. Which from what I've read that that alone is non-conclusive? But I have the unexplained burning feet thing and this all started a couple/few months after finding ticks on me (cottage in northern Michigan).

Thanks

Dr. L in Saginaw is supposed to be the best in Michigan.

Dr. M in Keego Harbor is also good. He takes insurance too!
