Possible Autoimmune…undiagnosed

@melissawolfe1981 there is controversy about how to interpret Lyme tests. The CDC wants a certain number of positive "bands" on the Western Blot, and certain bands. Some Lyme specialists go by whether a positive band is "Lyme-specific" and consider the test positive even with one band (like the 23). The 41 band is common and not diagnostic, could be from spirochetes in the gums.

I would go on lymenet.org and find a "Lyme-literate" doctor but be cautious about the info on that site.
