Hi everyone,
I just got the results of my IGeneX Lyme tests, and while it looks clearly positive on some results, it looks negative in others. It does look confusing all around, so I would appreciate it if someone with the right knowledge could tell me what all this means:
TEST 1:
TEST 3:
What does this all mean? Do I have Lyme or not? Can I be treated? Looks like I was exposed, but is it active or not? I'm really confused on this one. IgM and IFA are clearly positive, but IgG and PCR both negative. Any help deciphering this would be extremely helpful, thank you!
