Test Results - Lyme Disease Message Board

Hi all!

I just thought I'd check in and let you know that I called Dr. E's office on Friday to find out if any of the test results were back. They told me that my IgM was negative, the IgG was positive and the test for the antigen was also positive. They are mailing me a copy of the results as I don't see her again until the 11th. I'll let you know more as I know more.

Hi JAC1111. I am sorry you have this, but I am sure you are relieved to know what is going on and to get the help you need.

Good luck at your appointment. Do keep us posted.

Hi all,

I'm not sure what all this means because I think the IgG band 31 shows up so much because of the vaccine. Dr. E also did an antigen test through MDL that was positive, but I don't know exactly what that test was. The lume PCR my regular doctor did with LAb Corp was negative. I'm confused again...this sucks. How in the world does everyone deal with all the frustration?
