Hi Melody,

I happen to be searching the internet for IGG band connections between the two diseases my mother has. Celiac and Lyme. An old post of yours came up with the Lyme results of Alan. He had two positive bands in the Lyme test. Band 41 is specific for lyme disease. According to the guildlines of the CDC a person has to have 4 or 5 band to be considered positive for lyme. I urge you to contact a lyme lit. MD. or look at Healthboards.com under the Lyme chat room. You may be amazed.

PS. My mother has PN. She has just started her treatment for Lyme and is getting better ... slowly. The swelling in her ancles is gone. She can stand on her own again. She was tested for lyme 3 times and was neg. everytime. I did not believe it and brought her to a doctor that treats on symtoms.
