Okay, so my IGENEX tests came back and here are the results....

IFA, B Burgdorferi G/M/A Titer- 80

LYME IGM WESTERN BLOT
**41kDa ++
**83-93 +

LYME IGG WESTERN BLOT

**41kDa ++
58 +

Most of my bands were negative which really just makes me more confused. :(
Anyone's input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

KC - Is there a reference range for the IFA? I'm not familiar with that one...

But, you have a + for 83-93 - and that is a lyme specific band.

If you're not seeing a LLMD...I urge you to find one.

We can help you with that - just start a new thread titled: "Looking for LLMD in/near_____" and fill in the blank.

Hi Girlie,

Not sure about the reference range but is says interpretation of titer:

<40 Negative
40 Equivocal
= or >80 Positive

My number is 80. I have an appointment with a LLMD on May 11th.

okay, thanks.

So 80 is at the top end of Equivocal...right on the border of Positive.
That along with your lyme specific positive band..points to LD.

I'm glad you have a LLMD already scheduled...

KC I am so sorry you have lyme but you are doing the right steps. Igenex, LLMD....

In the meantime learn about detoxing.

I started a journal and I am grateful I did that. I don't have to remember what meds or herbs I have taken. I also know my reactions to the meds. And best of all I wrote down my symptoms so when I got rid of one I recognized that fact.

And try and eat as healthy as you can afford.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask, because that is what we are here for.

Thank you. Honestly, I am grateful I finally have an answer. I have been suffering for almost 4 years. I will read up on eating healthy and detoxing....that will be the hardest part for me.

Congratulations! Celebrate the knowing - you'll be surprised about how easy eating and detoxing is - the body craves it and you'll start feeling better as you ground into treatment. Best of luck and ask the spirochetes what they want to teach you. Someone here gave me that tip...and it was really eye opening... there is always something to learn from every journey.
