Igenex Test Results

The IFA positive result should be enough for a Lyme-savvy doctor to diagnose Lyme.

Unfortunately, due to lame CDC policy, the Western Blot is then run and a positive result has to meet certain unrealistic criteria. Your Western Blot doesn't meet their criteria and your results would be then be determined "false positive".....erroneously.


I like this site for interpreting Western Blot results:

For IgM (active infection), you reacted on Lyme-specific bands 31, 34 and 83-93

For IgG (possibly active infection), you reacted on Lyme-specific bands 30 and 39

If you were able to watch Dr. Horowitz's presentation during the Lyme Summit happening online this week, any reaction on any Lyme-specific band + symptoms = Lyme.

Sorry you're a member of our club but now you know the cause of your symptoms.

I am so sorry evianangel but you do have lyme. I guess that is a bitter sweet statement. You hate to have lyme but you want a diagnosis. That is how I felt when I got my test results. I didn't want it, but I did.

Now on to treatment. Get a journal going and keep track of as much as you feel up to.

I am so very sorry, but you can lick this.
