CONFUSED WITH RESULTS END OF THE ROAD?

Hi well all my tests for lyme are back.

I have tested positive for 5 bands:

IgG 23
      31
      39
      41
      66
      93

3 bands Igm

23
39
41

On the paperwork from Igenex, and Immunosiciences it says you have to have 5 bands specific IgG and 2 of IGM, well i have 6 and 3.

I have just received the last results from Invitalab and it says MELISA negative.

No active lymes.

So does that mean I dont have it now then, but did have it one time.

This is a good result isnt it does it mean I can rest easy and it isnt lymes anymore?

So confused with all this to be honest, and i cant talk to my doctor untli the end of the month lol.

My sympoms are worsening the burning in my legs is constant right now, so it is looking perhaps it is MS after all. Mariax

Hi I am not bothered about the MS diagnosis weirdly enough. Its on the back boiler for now anyway, as we need to address the lymes and viruses.

NOW if we address the lymes and viruses and the B12 and I recover really well in the next couple of years, we can then probably through out the MS label.

The MS label really and honestly and truly is not my concern lol. I can live with MS but I cant live with the devistation that sneeky lymes can do to me.

I am just waiting for this letter then i can start to attack.xxx
