At first my LLMD and chronic fatigue specialist was "95% sure" I didn't have lyme based on my symptom profile. After a very low CD57 (in the 20s) she decided to order the Igenex Lyme tests. The first round of tests is
IgM Western Blot
(positive by Igenex standards and CDC standards)
18+
31++
39+
41+
83-93 IND
However the IgG is negative
How can IgM be positive and IgG be negative (I thought IgM was current infection and IgG past infection?)
I am assuming she will want to diagnose chronic lyme based on this, but I also feel yeast is a huge problem and I am worried about the abx regimen....

In other (better) news all my viral titers looked great! Just past exposure to EBV, HSV1 and HHV6 which I knew,but all negative for active infections and every single food I tested came back negative on an ELISA test (though I kno ELISA food tests are not super useful, allnegative is better than lots I think (which is what I had 10 years ago before I started working to really clean up my diet) So basically what I have to go on right now are thyroid,testosterone and DHEA-S abnormalities, a history of B12 and D abnormalities (though both currently normal with supplementation) and still waiting for Methylation test results
