@Shawn I have the same symptoms for almost 23 yrs. the illness has taken my whole life.
I am wondering if you have been tested for lyme
there are many docs out there who believe autoimmune illnesses have intracellular bacteria as the cause or part of the cause.
That theory sounds solid I have not been tested for Lyme I will ask to have it done although I heard tests are not so reliable for it ?ibtracrlkuar bacteria at low levels esp in the nervous system could elicit constant immune responses that's for sure ,yet one would imagine the CSF via spinal tap would show some markers ?mine was normal except for the anti NMDA ,I did a course of 13 day IV macrolides aziromycin or something which acts against intracelluar bacs disnt see any improvement,I did see it after plasmapheresis though.A lot of people believe chronic Lyme is in fact residual autoimmune even though the bacteria has been cleared.
