Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Hi I am in a genealogy discussion group and the group leader has Lymes disease. You might want to join the group and email Larry about his condition. http://groups.msn.com/IndianaGenealogies If you like doing genealogy it is a good group also. Bill MS vs Lyme ? ? ? I got my blood test back from the Dr. He said it showed a positive for Lyme (the first six months, but negative for Lyme after six months). He believes that we have a very good chance of treating it with antibiotics for a month. On his advice I'm still going to follow up with the Neurologist. He advised me to go to the Neurologist and not to tell him about the results of the Lyme test.My question for the group is does anyone know the probability of a false positive testing for Lyme. The two Lyme tests were Lyme Disease Screen w/ Relex to WB and Lyme Disease AB, lgG & lgM WB.Anyway, I've been feeling a little better everyday and started amoxicillin twice a day for the next 30 days.Thanks for everyone's support!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 It certainly would make sense with the symptoms you've been having I guess. I do hope the correct dx is received, and confirmed. I recall something about a cousin dx'd with Lyme. A good friend, years ago, also had the dx. Not that it helps, but I usually blurt out whatever comes to mind. lol I don't know about the probability of false positives, etc. Perhaps there is a good Lyme List you can find and get help from, too??
