I'm not so sure a LL doc will say it's negative. Have you seen a LLMD with your results?

One of the veterans will give you their opinion. They have lots of experience and knowledge.

Char, sorry to say you are more positive than I was and I am taking antibiotics and doing herbals. I am only positive on 3 bands, 58, 28, 41++, IND on 31 & 39.

Any LLMD should give a clinical diagnosis based on the symptoms, I thought I had fibromyalgia also for 15 yrs it took to get diagnosed.

Are you seeing a LLMD? I wouldn't do anymore testing since you don't have the money, I would get on a protocol and see what happens. They should be able to treat according to symptoms and if your not getting results, then do more testing.

Hope you get relief soon.

Hi Char,
Those bacteria got inside somehow and these test results show that your body is trying to fight these infections. With a good LLMD/LLND these results should be enough for you to start treatments.

Band 18 and band 41 are indicative only of the tail end of this type of bacteria (spirochete) and can cross react with other spirochetal infections such as relapsing fever, Yaws and Pintas and a few others.

Bands 83 - 93 are specific for Lyme disease however, and band 58 is indicative of Borrelia Afzelli - another strain of Lyme disease.

While band 31 has had new research showing that it is indicative of Bartonella. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC148071/
