As to Lyme.. my 1* care poo pooed it.. she THINKS she knows I couldn’t have been exposed to or bitten by a tick.... I knew w guy who got them in his privates while out hunting! Sounds super uncomfortable!!

All my Fibro issues were. Informed by 2 espérate MDs. I didn’t tell my personal MD but was told by my W/C MD for Carpal Tunnel issues that after my surgery on @ thumb( De Quervaines Syndrome) poof... I have the whole enchilada! I had it confirmed by a third b/c I developed excruciating IT pain( Illini tibial Band on the outside of my hip area. Hurt sooo bad to try to sleep!! I found a paperback book at the Rx store called what your MD never told you. Boy was it enlightening! And spot on! Lo also looked into Books on the topic.. there is one pink book ( loaned out) or I’d share the MD author. I just weren’t to the medical section of the book store and bought books to read.... talk about enlightening!! I dint care if the MD takes issue w/ my ?s... I told her right up front I wanted to be a part of my treatment team. I hope she didn’t mind me asking ?s.. I’m trying to soak up info to better understand the disorder & Tx.. even found the Mayo Clinic is considered in my insurance coverage Vs out side my scope of resources! Already went to Rochester w/ a family member. It was sooo unbelievable to see it was a whole day of MD appts starting w/ a 7:40 am blood draw. You stay at poss. The adjoining Marriott and walk underground to the wing where all the MDs offices are.. then across the patio to the Liaison.Then .... Back home. You take all testing and x-rays/ MRIs.. w/ you and get a special Pt rate for the flight... I have yet to find an Expert in Fibro here in ALBUQ., NM ! I now had Osteo Arthritis on top of Fibro & CFS! My joints swell u like watermelons! Urgent Care staff freaked when they did a Doppler scan of my previously Fxd R/ankle! Pardon Sp / typos... long nails! joy.. they never tell you that if it was injured/fx’d.. you get arthritis as an older person! Yeah!! Soc.Sec. & Pain! Just what I wanted!!

??? ARE YOU IN ABQ? THAT IS WHERE I AM! If so there is no one! If you are here I went to every dept. at Preys. The only one who said It was Fibo was my Reumatoligist! But it was my orthopedic doc that said it was Lyme! He came from KC and started out as a microbiologist studing Lyme! My PC would never admit to it even when I carried in a list of all the symptoms that matched exactly to mine!
What I have researched is that they are all of a sudden they are discovering that many golfers are coming down with Lyme. We go out in the "ROUGH" looking for our ball and get bitten and we don't realize it. Since I am in the golf industry I've played everywhere in the country and many places in the world!
There has been an add on Sirus radio about a Fibro test, have you heard it?
Keep me posted on how you are doing.
If you are in ABQ let me know and I will give you the doctors name that diagnosed me with Fibro.
