Fibromyalgia: Anyone out there with the same diagnosis?

I know nothing about this condition beyond hearsay. But I did one come upon an article by a physician urging the medical profession to reconsider severity and prevalence of Lyme disease. He suggested that a lot of what is called fibromyalgia might be undiagnosed Lyme. And Lyme could be carried by multiple hosts over a wider geographical distribution than recognized. I don't want to introduce a red herring into the thread, but maybe it's worth asking your doctor to test for it?

It’s interesting that you mention Lyme- because I had a mystery virus that put me in the hospital for 2 wks when I was in my 30’s that the doc hypothesized jump-started mine cause about a yr later is when I started having the fibro episodes. Long story short they thought I maybe had Lyme, rocky mtn spotted fever, lacrosse encephalitis, etc etc but doc at mayo landed on CMV which most people get & have mild flu like symptoms-they don’t know why some people get so very Ill with it. So I got checked for all those things & was a no.
Now docs are saying that it’s not unusual for a virus like I had to be some kind of trigger.
