There is a specific test that can detect Lyme, but I can't remember the name of it. Someone else will know, maybe contact wonko, she is being treated for Lyme. Some doctors feel that fms/cfs isn't progressive, but both of my doctors both told me that my Fibro will get worse, and that it could also be genetic. I do know that I have gotten progressively worse since my DX a year and a half ago. I pray that you find out what is going on so that you can get treatment. Take care.

do you know which autoummune diseases should be checked? I actualy got bit by a tick in NH 3 - 4 yrs ago they say i don't have llyme should i have them look for anything else ? i know i have fibro/CFS. that's enough but i feel crappy most days and it's not getting any better. I thought Fibro/CFS don't get worse but i'm getting worse maybe because i don't have pain meds anymore.Any ideas would be great. Thanks!
Have you had testing for all the autoimmune diseases done recently? Have you been tested for lyme?
if your having pain in shoulder or neck area have them perform an MRI I've had 3 cervical fusions two with plates and 4 screws each.. swollen foot so bad you can't put a sneaker on is it poor circulation? Don't let that go.Change doctors if need be. That's where i am right now. my L wrist is swollen and feels like it's waking up with painful pins and needles
hand cramps so it's unusable. I'm left handed. my hands feet and nose have been cold for years never thought much about it. acceptance stage of fibro is all you think it will be. Please don't be discouraged if people don't understand we here do all of us. Welcome to Fibro. keep in touch let me know how you're doing. I'll say a pray for you. Good Luck welcome to the world of pain where people still care and understand.
