Did you ever read this:
Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and lyme disease
This doctor, researcher, bacteriologist, infectious disease specialist says that chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and lyme should be lumped together as one illness since they are medically indistinguishable.
Whichever "one" you have, you need to get treated with antibiotics as for lyme. So, you are on the right track. Congratulations. And, stay the course. In time you will have your proof--your health!
Dr. Donta emphasized that the most important aspect of treatment is that it must be long-term-- 12-18 months, sometimes 24-36 months. This length is not unusual in the treatment of infectious diseases i.e. TB. In the first few months of treatment patients can expect an adverse reaction, symptoms will increase and you'll feel worse. You need to be able to hang in through this period, and allow 3-6 months of a treatment trial to determine if it is working. The earlier in the disease process that you start on treatment, the more successful it is. The more chronic the condition the less successful it is, and you'll need to treat over a longer period of time. This treatment resulted in substantial improvement and cures in 80-90% of patients with chronic Lyme disease. There are 10-20% who do not respond-- generally those with a strongly positive Lyme test.
