Re: PCR test, mold and lyme

[Guest guest]

HI, i have lyme disease and just had a testing done. thats how i found out my

apartment was contaminated with mold! go figure. now here is how i know that

the test can be screwed up. My llmd dr. didnt do a PCR but did an IGG IGM and

they came back that i never ever had lyme disease before - but i currently have

lyme but of course not CDC lyme disease. hello? yeah, i am confused too. i

have lyme since 1998 - CDC Positive ellisa and IGM. then another positive in

2003. after that i never tested positive for current lyme so this mold is doing

something nutty to me. oh by the way i havent had a great head since that tick

bit me in 1998. its been a long strange trip. i dont know if this helps or

confused things more. i just know that all my blood work is kind of screwy

right now. i am holding off on all tests. thyroid sonogram i have scheduled

and stuff. just need to be able to breath first.

[] PCR test, mold and lyme

Hi Folks: Talking to my doc today and he mentioned doing a PCR test for

Lyme Disease. In all my reading about mycotoxins I remember that test

and do believe Dr. S talks about it as well. Heres what I am thinking,

where Lyme and mycotoxins put out similar toxins, isnt it possible that

the Lyme could be a false positive because I have mycotxoins in my

blood stream? You all have great heads, so just looking for opinions

here. (non-medical) . Thanks!! Diane

Diane,

Doesnt the Lyme PCR test for the actual lyme spirochete DNA in the

blood?

Its tough because there really isnt a reliable lyme test. I too am

at a loss trying to figure out what is lyme and what is mold symptoms.

I've been wondering about the lyme/mold thing myself.I have been

diagnosed with lume, just have read here about many that have.

I had looked for info. before and found that ticks are also mold

feeders, I have wondered if theres some connection, like a higher

chance of ticks being where theres moldy homes and if they bite you

and they've been eating or around the mold if it would be a way to be

infected with mold toxins somehow, or a mixture of myco's and borilla

(dpelling) what ever thats called. just a thought, I never really

did much research there. but it's weird that so many people with myco

poisoning get misdiagnosed with lyme.

I don't think its a misdiagnosis. Infection with lyme skewers the

immune system and then leads to other problems such as increased mold

sensitivity. The endotoxins generated by lyme bacteria stress the

detox system and then it can't handle stuff like mold. In addition I

have wondered if the borrelia was bioengineered or else another bug in

the ticks was bioengineered as a mycoplasma, and " myco " is fungus, so

there might be some cross reactivity or inability to handle mold

specifically because of the organism, something that has not been

investigated and probably won't be for a long long time.
