After logging hours upon hours of research, and going by my own blood work, talking to my fibro doc, people with lymes, I have a suspicion that CFS/ FMS may really be lymes disease.
I could be wrong. I was quick to dismiss the idea of having lymes when I went on another forum, and someone posted that many of the people thought they had CFS/ FMS and they had lymes.
I learned it is transmitted not only by ticks, but mosquitos, fleas, and other critters, as well as through human secretions.
The symptoms overlap so outrageously with fibro/ cfids that I don't know how that they can be determined to be separate disease - except that lymes can be found doing a specialized microscopic test, I believe. My fibro doc said it's epidemic - it also can cause: adrenal, thyroid, fungal, HHV-6, among other things.
Maybe that's why nobody is getting better.
Antibiotics don't permanently cure it either.
Maybe someone else may want to devote some time to this.
