Hi Robert, Many people including myself believe that fibromyalgia is actually Lyme disease. I was diagnosed as having either MS, Fibromyalgia, or Lupus in 97 and I found a lyme literate physician that explained to me how hard Lyme disease is to diagnose. The testing is not accurate at this time. Most Lyme tests that are run by local doctors is a joke and very misleading to people. If you have Lyme disease when you start taking an antibiotic or even CS you may notice an increase in symptoms (herxheimer reaction) and this is because of the spirochette dying and sending off toxins to the body. These herxes can last for a quite a while and many think they are having a reaction to the medication when actually its dieoff causing it. Yes, I would say that CS can help you with fibromyalgia. I had all the symptoms of fibromyalgia and now have been on CS and off abx for 5 months and doing great. I also work out at the Y and contribute some of my great health to that also. If you have or are taking steriods for fibromyalgia it just feeds lyme if that is what you might have. Steriods create a feeling you are getting better but when you get off them the problem becomes worse. Here is a list of the fibromyalgia problems and I had everyone of them before being diagnosed with Lyme.
Fibromyalgia Syndrome Symptoms Muscular Pain Fatigue Insomnia Joint Pains Headaches Restless Legs Numbness and Tingling Impaired Memory Leg Cramps Impaired Concentration Nervousness Depression (Major Depression) Only about 60% of the lyme patients have ever noticed a rash which is one way they diagnose Lyme. Many lyme patients are misdiagnosed as other things for many years. I am 95% my old self now due to abx and CS. By the way, I live in Oklahoma where they don't believe that Lyme exists. ha ha Take care, Janis -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
