How to differentiate between lyme and mold

Messages
1
I need some help understanding labs. I have been sick for 2 years. I found out this past May that I have lyme. I'm trying to determine if mold is a factor also. I'm treating myself but my chiro runs labs for me. I had C4A done by LabCorp so I know its useless.

MMP-9-417-HIGH
VIP, Plasma-28
ADH-<.8-LOW
VEGF, Plasma-17-LOW
PTH-31
MSH-48

Are any of these indicative enough of mold? Or they could be off because of lyme? Would the HLA DR test be more conclusive?
