Find Clarity About Lyme Disease Symptoms
When unexplained fatigue, joint pain, or mysterious rashes disrupt your life, it’s natural to feel concerned. Our Lyme Disease Antibodies Test provides the answers you need to move forward with confidence. For only ZAR 1,500, gain peace of mind about your health and take the first step toward proper treatment.
Understanding Your Lyme Disease Test
Lyme disease is caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, typically transmitted through tick bites. Our test detects two types of antibodies your body produces in response to this infection:
- IgM Antibodies: Your body’s early response, appearing within 1-2 weeks after infection
- IgG Antibodies: Develop later and indicate longer-term exposure or past infection
By testing for both antibody types, we provide a comprehensive picture of your immune response, helping your healthcare provider make informed decisions about your care.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, especially after outdoor activities or potential tick exposure, this test could provide crucial answers:
- Unexplained fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Joint pain or swelling that moves between joints
- Bull’s-eye rash (though not everyone develops this)
- Fever, chills, or muscle aches without clear cause
- Headaches, neck stiffness, or neurological symptoms
- Heart palpitations or dizziness
South Africa’s beautiful outdoor spaces mean many of us enjoy hiking, camping, and gardening – activities that can increase tick exposure risk.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested early can make a significant difference in your recovery and long-term health:
- Prevent Chronic Complications: Early treatment can prevent Lyme disease from progressing to chronic stages
- Reduce Treatment Time: Early-stage Lyme disease typically responds well to shorter antibiotic courses
- Avoid Misdiagnosis: Lyme symptoms often mimic other conditions, leading to delayed proper treatment
- Peace of Mind: Either rule out Lyme disease or confirm it early for targeted treatment
- Protect Your Future Health: Untreated Lyme can lead to arthritis, neurological problems, and heart complications
Understanding Your Test Results
We know waiting for medical results can be stressful. Here’s what to expect:
- Positive IgM, Negative IgG: Suggests recent infection – perfect timing for early treatment
- Positive IgG, Negative IgM: May indicate past infection or later-stage disease
- Both Positive: Strong evidence of current or recent Lyme disease infection
- Both Negative: No evidence of Lyme disease antibodies detected
Your results will be clearly explained, and we recommend discussing them with your healthcare provider for personalized treatment guidance.
