How long for Lyme disease microbiology results?
Posted , 4 users are following.
I had a blood test for Lyme 2 weeks ago, no results yet and GP doesn't know how long it will take. Does anyone know how long it takes for a result please?

Thanks Tickfighter, I'm in the UK and it seems it's not quite as simple! No idea why.
Hope you're doing OK.

Hi briannedav39, well if you're in the UK be prepared for a wait. Hope it goes well for you. I know it's not a great thing to have, but i'm almost hoping it is that cos if it's something they can put a name to then hopefully they can treat it quite soon, and hopefully I've caught it early as I actually saw the tick on me.

Thank you so much. I hope everything works out for you as well! I have been in pain for such a long time, and i pray that you aren't going through the same! So happy to hear you caught it, but just know that even if the test comes back negative, there is a chance you can still have it! Wishing you the best of luck. Keep us updated!!

Thank you. Yes I'm aware of the false negative possibility. I hope you are not in pain for too much longer. Take care.
