Pray That My Doc Will Grow Some And Treat Me Tomorrow!
Jul 14, 2009 06:03PM in the Lyme Disease Community
OMG!! I would LOVE to use that "grow a pair" line sometime! I don't blame you, if he is still waffling, switch to the LLMD. I got one month's supply of doxy out of my GP, even though he was telling me that he hoped that I would "get answers to what was wrong with me" someday. I was like you and only had the positive WB for lyme. It's ...
Husband is having symptoms of Lyme now too

Lyme Results: Band 23 and 41 IGM POSITIVE
Jun 20, 2009 11:54AM in the Lyme Disease Community
Below is something I found that might explain the significance of the band 23-25(OspC)..and other bands as well and how the CDC came to accept certain bands as criteria. http://www.lymenet.de/labtests/brenner.htm " 1. the first band to show up on a Lyme disease patient's IgM blot is usually the one at 41 kDa, 2. followed by the OspC band and/...
What was everyone else's results?

3/08 CDC Positive IgM 18++ 23-25IND 31++++ 34++ 39+ 41+++ 58+ 83-93+ CDC Negative IgG 31IND 39IND 41+++ 58+ 66+ Even with these results, I was still told that I didn't have lyme disease. If you have extra money and want more answers, there is a band #31 confirmation test that IgeneX can run on the blood that they did your WB on (they save it for so l...
