I was wanting to know, my disabilty is being questioned because I did not have a western blot test done when I was diagnosed with Lyme my llmd did it on my symptoms.  Back in 06 I did have one @ my local dr that came back neg. I have stopped my IV treatment for now and will be going to my llmd on dec 1st to have the test done he is going to send it to igenex for testing, what I want to know is with me being on abx for over a year now with oral and iv will that affect the testing?  If anyone has did the same thing please let me know, it just ***** im tired of dealing with all this!!!!!!    just wish on a bad day I could have the people that dont believe in lyme be in my body!!!!!!!!!  they would be singing a different tune.     thxs guys

In January, the CDC changed its website on Lyme Disease testing to say that a negative test result cannot be used to exclude Lyme Disease, and that it is a clinical diagnosis.  I would imagine that if you printed a copy of this and gave it to whoever is requiring a Western Blot, that should satisfy them.

I have used HGH for Lyme disease for years now. I recommend it. You can ask me more.

I am not sure, but the antibiotics might.  I do understand your frustration and understand why you are sooo very upset.  I would be also if I were in your shoes.

I have not been here for a while because of heath (in and out of hospital) and then computer went dead.

All my Lyme testing came back negative ( which really upset me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).  Now I have to go through all kinds of testing again to find out what is wrong with me, even though all my symptoms match Lyme.    arrrrggggghhhh

It is my understanding that any antibiotics can affect the testing.
