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?
