What the heck do I do with that?
I got retested at the end of December.
My ELISA is 2.83. It was 2.72 in June.
But Everything is negative on the WB except band 30 IgG. In June I was IgM positive.

 I'm wondering if you should be testing for other spirochetal diseases. Unless the ELISA was not performed correctly, a false positive that high could not mean nothing. Beyond that, I'm at a loss.

Ours were like that here...high Elisa and only IgG WB bands 39 and 40 positive. Then went off all oral Abx for 6 weeks, and had a test from Clongen reporting all the bands.
WB IgG 39 and 40 bands were ++ positive, and most of all the others, IgG and IgM were weakly positive (just 1+). Overall the test was considered IgG and IgM positive and said patient should seek immediate medical attention.

I saw him in mid Dec. I haven't been in touch with him since I got these results, though. He put me on Zithromax. I'm also taking a whole bunch of herbal stuff. Something seems to be working, for I've been doing significantly better in the last few weeks. I hope it continues.
My doctor in Chicago closed his practice (not because of Lyme). So now I need to find someone out here who is willing to give me drugs.
I can't believe that they treat antibiotics like they're narcotics or something!

He had me do a one month course of Zithro in Nov of '07 didn't do anything I could notice I was just starting Samento again to see if it helped  Currently I am not taking any ABX ============================================== I can't believe that they treat antibiotics like they're narcotics or something! ============================================== They are just as bad or worse about serious pain meds! Try and get more than two weeks of Percocets ;D Yet I know some people who seem to be able to push the docs buttons and get anything they want  what does the "whole bunch of herbal stuff" consist of? |

When I was doing the six months of zithro, the pharmacist started treating me like a drug-seeker ... it was very strange.... |
