Lyme IgG Band 66

If your Lyme IgG Band 66 levels are higher than normal, it might mean that your body is trying to fight off an infection, possibly from the Lyme bacteria. This is part of your immune system's natural way of protecting you. Keep in mind that different things can affect these levels, like how long you've had the infection and your overall immune health. Some medications or supplements that help your immune system could also make these levels go up. Remember, this marker is just one part of the bigger picture when it comes to figuring out if you have Lyme disease.

Symptoms of high levels of Lyme IgG Band 66 may not be distinct, as this marker primarily indicates an immune response rather than causing symptoms itself. However, if it's associated with Lyme disease, you might experience fatigue, joint or muscle pain, cognitive issues, or other Lyme-related symptoms.

A low level of Lyme IgG Band 66 might mean that your body isn't actively fighting Lyme disease. This could be because the infection is still new and your immune system hasn't made many antibodies yet, or it could be that the infection is lying low or has been beaten back. Sometimes, medications that affect the immune system, like corticosteroids or immunosuppressants, can also impact antibody production. It's also possible that you haven't been exposed to the Lyme bacteria at all.

Symptoms of low levels of Lyme IgG Band 66 may not be apparent, as this marker primarily indicates the immune response to the bacteria rather than the presence of symptoms. However, if the low level is due to an early-stage or latent Lyme disease, symptoms could potentially include fatigue, joint pain, or flu-like symptoms.
