hi,
I did labcorp WB Igm 23 positive only

Then 2 weeks later did MDL and igM band 41 shows up .75 but has to be over .90 to be. Equivocal

The iGg has a faint line between 41 and 39 looks like 40 maybe? But the intensity for IgG are blank

I feel like I have Lyme but Drs say. No! Terrible pain, swollen knees,fatigue etc

I'm getting Ignex done tomorrow but based on above results do. U think it's Lyme?

Lyme cannot really be diagnosed by tests alone. They are too insensitive, there are two many strains of the bacteria that cause the disease, and the longer you have it, the more your immune system is suppressed, so the antibodies detected by the tests are not being produced.

With your symptoms, your best bet is to seek the advice of a Lyme Literate Doctor. They will diagnose you clinically, not relying on the tests other than for confirmation.

Hope you get some help soon.
