Help with test interpretation

Hello,
I'm brand new to the world of lyme disease. I'm 29 and had fatigue and brain fog/ depersonalization for as long
as I can remember. I have very little to none muscle or joint pain. My gut fell apart about 6 years ago and have

had constant abdominal bloating since then. I suspect a small intestine candida infection. I've been seeing a
pretty smart ND but don't think she is Lyme literate. In the process of getting new doc though.

I'm hoping someone can confirm that I do have lyme or whether further testing is in order. I have a normal nk
cell count (c57) of 170 and I read that can suggest not a lyme infection but a co-infection. So I'm considering

doing the Igenix co-infection test. Also, the positivity on many of the bands seems to corroborate the normal nk
cell count suggesting a healthy immune response. I also have high IGG EBV titers but heard that only cross-

reacts with bands 31 and 34. Thanks for any help.

Almost forgot - We have a thread at the top of the page titled "New to Lyme?..Start Here!" It's got a lot of useful information in there.
Take a look and start reading, learning - ask questions.. etc

Whoa - that's one heck of an immune response! Hopefully that will mean with treatment you can put this to bed quickly!

Hi BigSky92!-

Welcome to our community! WOW !! Your test results lit up like a Christmas tree!!

Choosing a protocol is totally up to you. I have read some people having really good luck with herbal treatment and some people have really good luck with antibiotics. And some people like me have done antibiotics and herbal together. Go with what your gut says!

You can always change things up if you want to.

Just please remember to go slowly with whatever treatment you decide.

And remember to DETOX!!! Very Important!!

Best Wishes!

Oh my gosh, I don't think I have seen such a definitely positive as your test.

Sorry you have lyme..... at least you know what you have and it is definite.

My personal opinion on co-infection testing is save your money. Remember, my personal opinion. Why pay for something that is unreliable and probably wrong?

With gut problems, I really suggest bone broth. I just bought some Top Ramen noodle packets from the health food store and I cooked them in bone broth. I needed to have a quick, easy lunch for a couple of days.

I agree with your choice of herbal protocols. There are great ones out there.
