I've been prescribed a month of antibiotics for possible Lyme disease (ELISA positive but Western Blot negative). If it's Lyme how long would it be before they starts to work? If I feel no better after a month - does that mean Lyme's unlikely? Thanks?
Does a positive ELISA but a negative Western Blot mean you have Lyme disease? Some of my doctors say no and others say maybe. Not sure if I should take antibiotics or not! (I have flu like systemic symptoms for years) Thanks?
How long do antibodies remain detectable in the blood? I had a clear ELISA for Lyme disease after recurring lightheadedness and brain fog after a possible bite when hiking in the uk but the test was a good 10 months later -would it still be reliable?
With lyme disease you have ELISA and western blot but what if you tested ELISA negative is Lyme disease impossible? Or wise to do western blot?
In my lyme disease panel the Elisa was positive, the western blot was negative. My doctor said Elisa false positives are common. Is this true and why?
