Every once in a while I loose a post too. It can be a glitch anywhere from your computer to the forum receiving it, so there's no way to tell what happened. I'm so sorry.
As for your hubby's results, here is the site that I use to help interpret them:
www.reocities.com/HotSprings/Oasis/6455/western-blot.txtAn IgM result means that you have an active infection. It once was thought to mean an 'early' infection, but has since been revised. IgG means that the infection is at a later stage. The more +'s you have beside a number, the stronger the reaction.
IND means indeterminate - not negative, but not quite strong enough to be "fully positive". But it means that you reacted on those bands and should be considered, especially when they are Lyme specific bands.
A "Lyme specific band" means specific for Borrelia Burgdorferi, sensu stricto - Lyme disease in the strictest sense. There is only
one on the over 300 known strains of Lyme that is considered Bb, ss. Nothing else will turn a Lyme specific band positive other than Lyme disease.
Bands 18 & 41 (whether in IgM or IgG) are indicative of the tail of the bacteria, which can cross react with other Spirochetal bacteria such as Relapsing Fever, Pintas and Yaws, and Syphilis.
Bands 31, 34 and 39 are all Lyme specific - no doubt he has Lyme!!!
I can explain what each band means if you wish, or you can look them up on the site that I linked to at the top of this post.
Six weeks of abx will not likely be enough abx unless he has no symptoms yet. Otherwise he will need to see a LLMD/LLND or do an at home herbal/natural protocol.
