sore/tender

[gorbybelle]

When I press my body it hurts - especially from elbows up to shoulders and sides of legs - does anyone else notice this?  I have asked other people about it and they say they don't hurt.

There are certain areas that are really tender/painful - I can't put any pressure on it.

Sounds like you may have the fibro tenderpoints.

Yup I get this definatly ...

Hi, that's interesting  - I know many people with 'fibro' have this but wondered if anyone with lyme/co-infection did.  I also have areas on my butt and thighs and head!

I haven't been tested for Bartonella - I have only had a neg. lyme test so far - I am considering getting tested by Igenex soon. Something has been going on for four years - since a tick-bite!!

YES... I have this. I feel bruised all over, but primarily in the areas you mention and also spots on my butt and thighs. Sometimes I also have it on my head.

I have a Bartonella co-infection and I think this tenderness is from that. I also have weird lumps under my skin that come and go, and those are definitely from the Bart.

Sorry, Gorbs ... I didn't have that kind of discomfort.  Do you think it's from your meds or the bugs?
