Getting Diagnosed

Hello, I am a 29 year old female suffering from many symptoms resembling Lyme Disease. My doctor checked my IGG and IGM and I showed up positive on both of those so a Western Blot was done.  This came back negative.  I was positive on band 23 on the IGG and positive on band 39 on the IGM.  My symptoms include: fatigue, muscle weakness, chronic low grade fever, small blisters that keep appearing all over my body (this may be caused by the fever?), chest pain, heart palpitations, night sweats, chills, loss of concentration, dizziness, painful joints and occasional numbness in limbs and face. I am considering retesting for Lyme.  I'm really confused what do do next.  I've already gone as far as having MRI's and even a muscle biopsy to rule out muscle disease.  I  would really appreciate any suggestions or advice.  Thank you!

Emily

You can call Igenex for a kit and if your doctor will give you an order you can be tested through them.
