Hi All,


Would ya'll interpret Positive IgM P39 ab. and IGG P66 serum as positive for Lyme?

I'm seeing a LLMD in Jan. and have already begun 30 days doxy (I know, I know). I am also planning on following Bruhner or Rawls' protocol's come the new year regardless as the symptoms I've had are so consistent w/ lyme + I had the rash around a tick last Sept. I've read enough on this site to give me hope that these herbal protocols can be really beneficial whether/not the MD's think I have Lyme.

note : I also have an IgeneX kit enroute to test for additional bands.

Any thoughts/opinions from those in the know? Thanks for your help!

best,

Mike

rcnc24 - Band 39 is lyme 'specific' - so that band being positive is enough to back up a clinical diagnosis of lyme disease.


I'm glad you already have an appointment scheduled with a LLMD.
In the meantime you can prepare for the appointment.
Do a timeline of symptoms.

Write down any questions you have:
Some examples:

1) How do you determine what coinfections to treat...do you consider treating all three B's no matter what the testing shows.
(Borrelia, Bartonella, Babesia)...or ?
2) How long they treat with antibiotics? Do you use IV's? and when?
3)What do they recommend you do if you need to get a hold of them because of a concern? How do you feel about playing phone tag? Can I use email to reach you?

There is a list of questions - you may be interested in including - in the New to Lyme Thread.


The best bang for your buck re: Igenex is the Lyme WB IgM and IgG for $250.

Thanks for the quick response Girlie, this is great to know!

My wife and I are also going to start following the Wahl Protocol diet, which is pretty similar to how we already eat. Can't hurt and might even help out in other ways, too!

Cheers,
Mike

That's great that you and your wife are eating healthy already.
