Fibromyalgia and Lyme Disease

[Guest guest]

I have been going to the doctor for several years now wondering what

was wrong with me. One of my first thoughts was lyme disease and the

doctor said it wasn't even in our state at that time. But he ran

blood tests for all types of arthritis and they were all negative. He

couldn't tell me what was wrong....so he put me on anti-depressants.

I quit seeing him and went to a rheumatologist who said I have

fibromyalgia and also put me on anti-depressants. When I questioned

her about lyme disease she said that if I had it I would have seen a

big sore where the tick bite was and would be alot worse.

A friend of mine told me about this group and thought I should check

it out. I am amazed at what I am reading. Is it really possible

that I have been bitten by an infected tick??? I live in a rural

area and have had literally hundreds of tick bites over the past

years. I also saw where someone commented about it being worse just

before a menstrual cycle. I am experiencing the same thing. How can

I find a doctor in the St. Louis, Missouri area that knows about lyme

disease and can maybe help me.
