My results

EBV cannot cause positive results like this. This is a positive Lyme test. Have you talked to your LLMD about co-infections? An untreated co-infection could be preventing you from healing.

so based on my results would you guys consider this a no brainer positive lyme?

Yes i am on three different meds she just started for parasits. biltircide pyrantel and stromectol. one for a week then the next one then next

As for your test results, here is the site that I use to help interpret them:www.reocities.com/HotSprings/Oasis/6455/western-blot.txt


An 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. ------------------------------------------------------------

So the other bands that you tested positive or IND for are: 31, 34, 39, 83 - 89, and 58.

Band 31 indicates OspA (Outer Surface Protein "A") and is specific for Lyme.

Band 34 indicates OspB (outer Surface Protein "B") and is specific to Lyme.

Band 39 indicates BmpA (Bacterial Membrane Protein "A") and is specific to Lyme.

Band 83 indicates a high molecular mass protein that is specific to Lyme.

**Usually, the test indicates bands 83 - 93. Could you recheck your test to see if that was a typo in your first post? If you meant band 93 and not 89:

Band 93 indicates an immunodominant protoplasmic cylinder antigen that is associated with the flagellum that is specific to Lyme disease.

While I admittedly don't know much about the pharma abx used
for these infections, I've not ever heard of someone rotating their meds daily - I hate to question so much of what you are saying, but are you sure that you are supposed to rotate daily????

Looks like you are currently treating bartonella - with the levofloxin (sp?).

Usually for babesia the main med is either mepron or malarone...paired with zithromax or biaxin .
There are other babesia treatments, though.

biltircide pyrantel and stromectol - sorry I'm not familiar with those three meds.

no ! thank you all sooo much! I just wanted to make sure I was on the right track and that my result seemed positive. I didnt want to be taking all these meds and it could be something else. I go through cycles where for a few days or a week ill be doing better then all of a sudden ill feel horrible again. That second 3 month cycle did include zithromax. I just looked up my records. I am definitely better more ofter than i was last winter but still have really bad days. a couple weeks ago I felt good enough to start running again. I was a avid runner before. So for three weeks I ran up to four times a week. Then all of a sudden last week went back down hill and have felt like crap since! I guess Ill just stick to it. THANKS A LOT !!!

thanks so much you guys are a huge help! I found my llmd through this site last summer! Thanks again you guys are awesome!!!
