See below: I would recommend that you confer with your doctor as he or she knows your history and exam well enough in order to interpret a test result. Part of interpreting test results is taking into account the patient and their history.

Merits further tests: With an uncertain test result, a western blot test is appropriate, one that tests for antibodies to several lyme spiroochete body parts, both for igm and igg. Igenex labs in palo alto ca has a very precise western blot test and you can get a blood draw kit with instructions for free (at least your doc can order it) also suggest a cd57 natural killer cell test available through labcorp (only).
