lymes ..increasing IgM levels

More than 11 years ago I was found positve for Lymes.  Did the 30 days antibotic (antibiotic) and that was that. I have been tested at least 3 times since then (but only have results for the last 2 and I need more info then I can find.

June 6 2008

Lyme Ab/western blot reflex
lyme IgG/IgM Ab   1.06      high.
Lyme Ab Interp.,EIA          equivocal
IgG by WB                        negative

IgM by WB    P41  present
                    P39  absent
                    P23   Present
IgM  WB Interp Positive

November 24, 2008 partial results

Lyme Ab/western blot reflex
lyme IgG/IgM Ab   1.54    high.

I don't have the breakdown re IgG and TgM and the bands , but was told it was interpreted as postive for Lymes overall  by  Labcorp.

So once positive, always positive? or as I am starting to suspect it still persists. certainly overall my body is getting stiffer and more painful, but I am 56 and a history of some injuries (horses.. gotta love them anyway).

My RAF by RA latex turbid remains normal but at the high end of normal ..

Do I still have Lymes? Can anyone out there advise me?

I have started geting chest pains and I don't know what to think.. I am not nervous about lymes as I always had thought that you take the drugs it goes away. but I live on 2 acres in deer country and have 4 bloodhounds on fenced property.. the exposure is there. I didn't know that Lymes could cause serious problems even if treated?

please respond to   ***@****  Thank you so much!
