Please read if you've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia; it may be Lyme disease

If you have been suffering from chronic pain; CFS or Fibromyalgia please read this. You may have been infected with a tick borne illness, LYME DISEASE and co-infections of lyme disease. Testing for lyme disease is very unreliable, many have to resort to getting tested at a private lab, such as igneix. Many doctors and specialist do not want to talk about lyme disease. Please educate yourself on this. youtube 'under our skin' and many other educational and awareness videos, which have links to helpful websites, such as ilads.org  It doesn't make any difference where you live or whether you have felt a tick bite or had a bulls eye rash, you may still have been infected. I'm hoping to save many the grief that I've had to endure over the last 5 yrs., not knowing what was causing all the strange and numerous symptoms in my body. Please take this serious. Take your health into your own hands and become your own advocate. Good luck and good health

Happy new year to Im am beyond happy and am in shock myself how much my health has turned around I still have pain, and  mild vertigo on occasion but nothing as bad as I was expieriencing. Im glad I did not take dr's diagnosis and accept it and took hold of my own health and care and find out answers till I got a def answer and  diagnosis. Im scared to think if i never found everyone here and on ****** where I would be. But everyone educated and I found out what I needed to know and where and what tests to take.

Thank you for your post. Infections are commonly detected in autoimmune patients and these neuro-immune syndromes, so antibiotics may help us all... whether we have lyme disease or not.
