 Hello. I am happy to have found this group and hope you don't mind another new member. I recently was diagnosed with Lyme disease. I did not have any "classic symptoms" rash, bullseye etc. However, I do live in a highly endemic area and in a wooded area. I asked my Dr. to add the Lyme test to my yearly physical blood work-up. She was hesitant, as I had no bullseye rash (not a good Dr., have a new one now) She ordered the test which came back pos. for Lyme. This was in December of last year. I was given 21 days of Doxy and no further info. (again, not a great Dr.) I felt O.K. while taking the Doxy, but about 2 weeks after stopping it, I felt extreme fatigue, and I am having body aches recently. Can anyone help me understand my WB results:negative IgG= 2 bands present 58, 41 positive IgM 3 bands present 41, 39, 23 the test page that I'm looking at says on the top: LYME TOTAL ABS <C.91 Is this a pretty common looking result? Thank you for any help, assistance you can provide. I am a worrier, I have some health anxiety issues to begin with, now the Lyme diagnosis has hightened these issues. Thanks again. Glad |

It is such a good feeling to have friends I can tell my deepest thoughts and always get back to me with their support. I have never seen a therapist for long periods of time. Right or wrong, this is the best therapy possible for me. Thanks Roy for getting this up and running and making such a difference in my life. Sara" (saralaurie)
