Your symp's do sound very much like Lyme & other autoimmune diseases, such as FMS, CFS/CFIDS, MS, etc. I've experienced all the symp's you mentioned, as have many others here, so you're not alone! Oh, & the general rule is that you have to tell the doctors that you're sick 4999 times before they stop telling you that you are fine. :)



Here's some good Lyme disease website's: http://www.anapsid.org/lyme/symptoms/tbi-symptoms.html & http://www.canlyme.com/patsymptoms.html



(I'm pasting the following from a previous post):

I highly recommend looking into the Marshall Protocol (MP), a curative therapy for people with autoimmune diseases/symptoms, & the links to each other referenced as "Th1 disease." You don't have to have an actual diagnosis for the MP, in fact the MP site has hundreds of members who searched for years for help & were always told they were fine. Here are some good links to for starters: (I've been on the MP for 6 months & it is working!) (There are MANY members in Australia & everyone is very helpful at answering our questions. Please check them out.)

"What is the Marshall Protocol": http://www.marshallprotocol.com/forum2/4213.html



"Is the MP an applicable treatment for my disease?" http://www.marshallprotocol.com/forum32/1263.html



Then on their main page: marshallprotocol.com, look up the many different articles under the headings: "Essential Information about the MP" & "Marshall Protocol FAQ's"



This link is really interesting, check the list of symptoms of Th1 inflammation, "Hypervitaminosis-D Symptoms" http://www.marshallprotocol.com/forum2/2588.html



Keep us posted, K!
