My symptoms.tenderness hurts to be touched/neck base skull discomfort & popping & cracking. Same with my back feels like needs popped all the time. Bad fatigue. Ibs symptoms.pain in ribs/ lymph nodes. I've tested positive 3 times now for Rocky Mountain spotted fever. If you haven't been tested please talk to you doctor about getting tested.

      This is what I do. For the fatigue & to help with pain I take mucinex day & night sever cold tablets. And I found to help with joint pain get you lipton green tea add tbs of sea salt. Also get Vitamin c pills & magnesium pills. I add vit c & mag pill to my tea. Helps a lot. Also I do Epsom salt baths. If you do vit c salt protcol be sure drink plenty water. But it really helps me A LOT with joint pain. I also take clartin d cause there was study done saying it killed lyme in test tube study that was done.

    Got my mind running around now.  I used to lived in Tennessee but a long time ago, back in 2000/2001.  My fibro symptoms started around 3 or 4 years ago.  I have OA too but that is very specifically due to a major accident in 2008.  If I'd contracted lymes in 2001 I'm guessing it would have shown up before now and as it's seriously progressive, I'd probably be much more ill by now than I actually am.  I returned to the UK late 2001 and have lived here since.
