I too have a positive Lyme titer from Igenex. Igenex has been through some controversy. Here in the Midwest, a lab result from Igenex is tossed out. Interestingly, I do have the initial diagnosis of Lyme with an EM rash and tick bite and rising titer done by state lab of hygiene in my records. Antibiotics aborted the rising titer. My Igenex lab results are still ignored. They were positive in 2000. I contracted Lyme in 1994. I went thru additional oral treatment in 2000, but by then, I already had neuropathy but didn't know it.
I have always brought up the Lyme and always been blown off.
They did do CSF fluid PCR and found nothing at this point but it is 15 years now.
I don't know what to tell you other than, I am sorry that you are testing positive for Lyme. It is darn hard to get treatment, and they won't treat old cases here in the midwest. Perhaps you have good docs and will be able to get treatment....it kind of depends on how old your case is.
I would try to get IVIG....mine has helped greatly with numbness.
Good luck to you.
