[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 422073, member: 2211"] Yes the western blot came back positive as well. My APRN at the time said I was about 10 weeks into it. My current DR feels that the blood work I just had done on Monday will come back positive but with a low titer, however we shall see. When I told my current DR I was treated for 3 weeks, she rolled her eyes and said I should have been treated for at least 6 weeks. The APRN wouldn't test me again as my symptoms worsened, which is one reason I sought a new DR. My brother lives in Smithtown and when he had the IV, it was just a 'butterfly' in his arm and twice a day he had to sit and have the medications put into him, at home. It was easy breezy he said. Once a week he went back to his DR's office and had the IV butterfly thingy changed out. His wife is an RN, so I'm sure that helped him deal as well. In regards to reading the tests differently, with the initial lymes it's pretty simple, it's either a positive or negative. The Western blot seems to be the KEY test. I am not sure how they read that differently either to be honest. I saw the results of my blood work (I always ask for a copy) and it seemed very straightforward to me! Again, good luck [/QUOTE]
