Hi PJ,
>The last time was tested via Western Blot test about 15 years a go still had 5 bands of positive
That shows the presence of antibodies, suggesting past infection/exposure. Doesn't suggest that you still have an infection.
>"Lymes doesn't exist in NC" so no you don't have it.
That's a bit strange. It looks like you did have an infection but received full treatment for it.
>have to wonder if this could be a cause of the back issues
I thought you had osteoarthritis? You received multiple courses of potent antibiotics for the Lyme diagnosis. If anything, the antibiotic treatment you received sounds excessive in duration.
