Lyme Disease Testing
Why it Matters
Lyme disease and other Borrelia infections can be hidden causes of chronic symptoms, including fatigue, joint pain, neurological issues, and immune dysfunction. These infections are often difficult to diagnose, as symptoms can overlap with other chronic conditions such as autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia.
At Goode Health, we use advanced Borrelia testing from Germany to provide a comprehensive evaluation of Lyme disease and related infections. By combining antibody testing (Tickplex Basic) and T-cell immune response testing (Borrelia Elispot), we can detect both current and past infections, offering a more accurate picture of Borrelia exposure and immune response.
Markers
Borrelia IgG Antibodies – Indicates a past infection or a longer-term immune response to Borrelia.
Borrelia IgM Antibodies – Suggests a recent or active infection, as IgM is the first antibody produced in response to infection.
Borrelia-Specific T-Cell Response – Identifies an active or persistent Borrelia infection, even if antibody levels are low or undetectable. More Accurate for Chronic Infections – Helpful in late-stage Lyme disease when antibodies may no longer be detectable.
Who should consider this test
Ideal for individuals who suspect they may have Lyme disease or a Borrelia infection, particularly if they have unexplained chronic symptoms. Consider these tests if you experience:
✔ Chronic Fatigue & Low Energy – Persistent exhaustion that doesn’t improve with rest.
✔ Joint & Muscle Pain – Unexplained aches, stiffness, or migrating pain.
✔ Neurological Symptoms – Numbness, tingling, dizziness, or nerve pain.
✔ Brain Fog & Cognitive Issues – Difficulty concentrating, memory problems, or mental fatigue.
✔ Mood Changes – Anxiety, depression, or irritability linked to Lyme-related inflammation.
✔ Frequent Infections & Immune Dysfunction – Recurrent illnesses or poor immune response.
✔ Unexplained Fevers & Flu-like Symptoms – Periodic fevers, night sweats, or chills.
✔ Heart Palpitations & Cardiovascular Symptoms – Irregular heartbeat or unexplained chest discomfort.
✔ History of Tick Bites or Suspected Lyme Exposure – Even if symptoms appeared months or years later.
✔ Autoimmune & Inflammatory Conditions – Chronic Lyme disease has been linked to immune dysregulation and conditions such as autoimmunity and fibromyalgia.
