Thanks @justy I don't know what the differences between IgA and IgG are really. What was your IL8? no matter if you haven't the results to hand I know its a pain, they'realways where you aren't!!

The top ones look to be interleukins and other measures of systemic inflammation. They are often produced by macrophages. Elevations would indicate inflammation but I don't know much more than that. Some are pretty highly elevated and that goes along with your symptoms.

I'm not sure if the positive IgG means a past infection or a current one.

Will you be able to go over the results by phone or would you have to make a trip?

My IL8 was 2394 I have tried reading up on IL8, but it has made no difference to my general understanding i'm afraid.

@maryb did you say you were diagnosed with lyme even though your results are negative? Or did i understand wrong?
