Got my Igenex back today. It was negative for both IgM and IgG. My doctor is not an LLMD. She is an integrative medicine MD. She found I have a hormone imbalance and I'll be treated for that. I don't trust her to determine if I have Lyme but she was very willing to do the Igenex testing. They keep kits on hand.
I would like to know what those of you with Lyme knowledge think of my negative results. I think I know the answer to that but I want to read it from a neutral party so I can make a better decision on either to see an LLMD or save my money for my PANS sons treatment.
IgM = 18+, 23-25 IND, 39 IND, 41+, 83-93 IND
IgG = 18+, 39 IND, 41+++
The rest were all -. No coinfections testing.
I am symptomatic. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 1997. I have no joint damage just symptoms of joint pain and stiffness, muscle aches, fatigue, word retrieval issues, foggy thinking/memory issues, anxiety, quick to anger and irritate. I took plaquenil for years. Stopped two years ago due to retinal damage from it. Currently on minocycline pulsed dose for the past two years. Helps with joint pain but nothing else. When I was on plaquenil, I was pretty much symptom free.
Feel free to tell me I have RA and need to move on. Thank you.
