Retest tomorrow

"I sent this to the forum earlier but it hasn't show up so I will write it again.
I am retesting tomorrow but I think I might as well go ahead & start treatment. My first Elisa test was positive & the Western blot was reactive for bands 23 & 41 which are specific for Lyme's. My doctors wanted me to wait & retest because I am just (hopefully) recovering from Cdiff & antibio"

Western blot
by catsgalore
In Lyme Disease Support Forums > Medicine & Treatments
"On the Western blot test, I had 2 bands detected. I have a printout of the results & it's bands # 23 & 41. Does anyone know anything about this & what it means? The conclusion of the testing clinic was "possible early Lyme's" & recommended retesting in 4-6 weeks "if clinically indicated." I have no clinical symptoms other than a slight sore throat but I"

"Well, went to my LLMD visit. I don't even know where to begin. I was pretty upset the whole way home. I am not sure I can put this into coherant sentances, so I am just going to ramble....
it's sounds as though most his patients are treated for 3-6 months....

Doctors say - 'Everyone thinks it's Lyme'

"Hi everyone. I have a question for you all:
Since 2/26/07 I have had constant headaches, joint pain/soreness, muscle soreness, and extreme fatigue. Doing anything makes me feel worse, and I've been trying to fight the pain and go to work, but I've called out more than I've been in - I haven't worked a full week or a full day since 2/26. My brain feels sluggish and I haven't had the best"

"Ok, I thought my regular doc was going to order
just a lyme titer...to my surprise, this is what
the script said for the blood order.
EIA, Reflex to Western Blot
(IgG, lgM) 1529T
Is this good....does this mean it's not just an
Elisa test, is this more reliable?? I was so
excited when I saw Western Blot on there.
anyonw know what this all means?? [b]"

Should I get tested?
by dimnd6
In Lyme Disease Support Forums > General & Support
"For almost 6 months, I've been having very frequent upper back aches, and sometimes my joints hurt. I'm not particularly tired normally, but I do tire faster than I used to.
Should I ask my doctor about Lyme, or he'll laugh at me? I see that some of my symptoms match, but I don't know if I'm not being paranoid already. I've never been bitten by anything, as far as I can remember."
