Oh yeah. It's Lyme. [View all]

The doc hasn’t called yet but new lab results were posted to my online patient portal thingy today.
The Western Blot is back. (Edit: it’s the ImmunoBlot by Igenex, not the regular Western blot).

9 positive bands on the igG.
2 positive bands on the igM.

Glad the doc already started me on the doxycycline. Fingers crossed that I start feeling better within a few weeks. Talked to my Dad earlier and he said they’ve had friends who had to use a portable antibiotic IV pump to fight this. Yikes.

I’m just glad to have some answers and direction. Also super glad these aches and pains and annoying brain fog aren’t due to me simply aging.
