lab results interpretation

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I've been going through my medical records and found some lab work my doc did a

few years back. Not sure how to interpret them. I don't have my most recent

lyme lab results--I'm going to request them.

Jan 2007

Lyme IgG/IgM Ab: <.91

Lyme Disease Ab, quant, IgM: <.91

Dec 2007 (worst flu symptoms ever, extreme fatigue, dx'd Thyroiditis first very

hyperthyroid, then hypothyroid)

Lyme IgG/IgM AB: 1.26

Lyme Ab Interp., EIA Positive

P41 Ab. Present

Lyme IgG WB Interp. Negative

Lyme IgM WB Interp. Negative

Jan 2008

Lyme IgG/IgM ab: 1.34

Lyme Ab Interp. EIA Positive

P41 ab. Present

Lyme IgG WB Interp. Negative

Lyme IgM WB Interp. Negative

Since 12/07, I haven't had a return of a fever, and all of my symptoms are

fairly mild (apart from the recent eye trouble, which has resolved for now):

constant mouth sores, joint stiffness, minor back pain, minor mental fog and

irritability. No extreme fatigue. I am able to run 15-20 miles per week. I

take Synthroid daily for hypothyroid and was also found to have elevated

cortisol, which after extensive testing, was dx'd " pseudo cushings " ( " nothing we

can do--go home and try to be less stressed " ). So many people on here talk

about extreme symptoms. I feel mostly okay. As an aside: all three of my dogs

are lyme positive, one has had fairly severe neurological complications.
