juniebird2I had Lyme disease in 2001, was not diagnosed until late 2002. I had a pic-line iv for 30 days with Rochefrin, I think I have Chonic Lyme, my DR. said it is fibromyalgia, I disagree, does anyone have a similar case?

Hi Juniebird2, My sister in law has lyme disease and fibro. I do believe their is a coorlation between the two. I suggested she try a special all natural supplement that I have been taking for my Fibro. It helped her tremendously. Please friend me if your interested. God Bless, Reedeli

I had & was treated for lyme. After the long treatment my " head fog " cleared up greatly. I later tested high for RA, my Dr. says I have Fibromyalgia. I am now on disability, she keeps giving me more medicine, stronger medicine. My RA test keep going up. I take ADD medicine and THAT keeps my head clear. I have never heard of lyme arthritis. I would like to talk more about our systems to compare. I don't know how this works. I am new to this site. I can give you my e-mail if you are interested in talking.
Pam.

Yes, I was also told that I had fibromyalgia but really had lyme disease. It took 5 yrs for many Dr.' s to figure it out. I was left with severe case of uviitis/iritis which is inflammation of part of the eye. I am partially blind in my left eye due to this. untreated lyme can cause you to get very sick. I have chronic pain and take oyxcodone twice a day to help me function. It really has been a long lonely road but I found an excellent lyme specialist in Kennebunk, Maine. he known what to do and does not look at me like I am a drug seeker. i am a CADC and know what addiction is all about. It's hard when you need pain control in today's society. So much abuse of the medication that helps a person with chronic pain. So yes you definitely can have ongoing debilitating chronic lyme disease also called disemminated Lyme disease.

I went to one doctor who said I had fibromyalgia, but then went to get a second opinion and they said it's the Lyme disease I had a year and a half ago. What are your symptoms? I have widespread pain but mostly in my hips, legs, and knees. They gave me meloxicam, but it actually made it worse. What do you take??
