Thank you guys ! Yes, lyme disease should DEFINITELY be ruled out along with many other conditions... before getting a CFS or fibromyalgia diagnosis.
I am covered because the pathogen killing treatment I'm on.. not only covers the mycoplasma infections in CFS and autoimmune conditions, but it also covers borrelia burgdorferi, as well as the often seen co-infections of babesia microti, human monocytic and granulocytic ehrlichia, and the many and varied elusive human herpes viruses. It is a natural treatment and homeopathic, but I'm thrilled that I'm responding well to the treatment. In fact, a member here in MedHelp just sent me a PM letting me know that she's making progress. I think she's going to be sharing her story with us soon.

Ditto. This is why I post lyme info on here for people who may not know. Not everyone diagnosed with FMS/CFS has it but many do and there is treatment.
