Check other forums?

Too long a story to restyle but wondering in anyone, or a physician, can do a search on my name and read my other posts in other forums ( infectious disease, ENT , etc?). I am at a loss and really desperate.
Thanks

I don't know much about Lyme tests but I do know a lot about EBV tests.  These tests should always have units next to them.

Sorry, don't have the tests handy and I basically typed what was there.  I think a Western Blot was done on the Lyme.
Yes it was one of those meds and I did not take it. My EnT doc and PCP said those test results were not significant. Msee a new GI doc tomorrow but not optimistic. Mthey see you fir maybe 10 mins and are out of there
Thanks

I can't really interpret your lab results without units on them.  You said:

EBV EBNA AB (IgG). Over 5.00. High and positive
eBV VCA AB. .90.    He wrote current infection
EBV VCA AB. Over 5.00. High. He wrote proves immunity

What is the difference between the last two tests?

Was the med you were talking about acyclovir or valcyclovir?

Lyme is hard to diagnose and the testing isn't always accurate.  I would recommend seeing a specialist in lyme disease.

Found some records a neurologist ran in Dec., 2010' lots of different blood work
Anlyte. vSZV AB IGM.  0.59.  Normal ange

hSV IGM AB Screen. And titer. Just marked abnormal. Titer was under 10

Lyme disease, 11 types ofvIGG showed Negative and non-reactive but one, 41 kD IGM says reactive.  He didn't seem concerned with this.

analyze
EBV EBNA AB (IgG). Over 5.00. High and positive

eBV VCA AB. .90.    He wrote current infection

EBV VCA AB. Over 5.00. High. He wrote proves immunity

CMV IgG Antobody. Over 5.00. High. He wrote proves immunity

CMV IgM Antobody. Under 0.90. Negative

hemoglobin A1C. 5.8. High.  Increased risk if diabetes per this lab

tSH was normal but I do have thyroid nodules

hIV. Non reactive

HSV 1 iGg AB. Over 5.00. High
HSV 2 iGG AB binder 0.90. Says should be repeated in 4-6 weeks but it was nit

I have shown these to my other doctors and they are not concerned.  Said most people would have those results.

The neurologist prescribed some med for me to take fo 30 days.  Said that was my problem. Forget the name but think it is an anti-viral he takes himself.  They take it for cold sore outbreaks.  I dudn't take it as have problems with meds.

You understand this stuff?

I will show these to the GI dic tomorrow.

The only other test that is usually elevated some is my alkaline phos but nobody seems concerned about that.  I had a gallbladder scan some time ago which was ok and my other blood work is ok.  Proteins were just checked again by the oncologist and no elevation in past year.

A guy on another board thinks there is a good chance I have Lyme but I was tested,

This dies seem to cycle.  I have constant dry mouth and throat but like last night, got really bad, down my esophagus causing me to be up almost all night using Biotebpne, drinking water, etc then the upset stomach and nausea start?  Not feeling well today at all

What do you mean by Mono and Ebv?  Those are just different names for the same thing.  Which EBV antibodies were high?
