[DIYbio] IgM and IgG Western Blot for Lyme

Anyone ever done any Lyme disease related testing on themselves?  I've found PCR primers for Borrelia but IgM and IgG seem to be a more trusted test outside of an ELISA specific to Borrelia

Rather curious.  I've had the bullseye rash 3 times, doctors only treated with doxycycline 1 time, and all ticks removed in under 24 hours (which "they" say means Borrelia cannot be transferred).   Doctors also always refused to do a lab test as they said the rash was confirmation for needing antibiotics. 

There's still a lot of debate about chronic lyme and false positives with tests but, not here to voice opinion on that, mainly interested in doing my first Western.
