Guest guest Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hi All, I'm a bit confused here and was hoping maybe someone knew something that could help me out. Back in early May, I was bitten by a tick, my MD did a 'Lyme test' 4 weeks out and 6 weeks out and they both came back negative. Each of the blood tests have been done at my PCP's office right after my bi-weekly Xolair appointments. I have all or most of the symptoms of Lyme Disease (night sweats, joint pain/swelling, etc...) so it has been perplexing as to why the tests are negative. I made an appointment with an Infectious Disease doctor who specializes in Lyme cases, so today when I got my Xolair, I got copies of the blood work to give to this new doctor. The blood work says that the Lyme tests are based on levels of IgG antibodies. So my question is, would Xolair block those antibodies and thus the test would be negative? I did some research online, but this is such an obscure thing, the answer doesn't seem to be readily available. Thank you for any help you can give me, Meagan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
