Ok...saw LLMD today. Got Igenex results back (negative). Dr said Lyme is definately suspected, and he is changing my meds to Omnicef and Biaxin

IGM:
41 ++
66 +

IGG:
31 IND
39 IND
41 ++

What do you all think...is Lyme a possibility?

I found this site really helpful when trying to understand what the test results mean.

You are IND on Lyme specific Bands so yes I'd say it's Lyme. Glad you found a LLMD.

Beeperoni doesn't it feel good to have some confirmation that those migrating pains are not in your head and are lyme?

That is how I felt when I got my results.

31 outer surface protein A (OspA), specific for Bb

39 Bacterial membrane protein A (BmpA); specific for Bb

You have both of these bands that are specific for lyme disease. They may say IND but that just means they are a weak positive. Nonetheless a positive for lyme.

Glad you are on a course of treatment.

Thank you for agreeing with my suspicions...I have been saying (for two + years) that I felt infected somehow, but no one would listen. So hopefully I can now broadin' my horizons for treatment...
