Hello,
Diagnosed with fibromyalgia since the 80's, I haven't stopped consulting doctors and specialists of all kinds. None of them has ever told me about
to tick-borne disease such as Lyme disease. Still, I did my own research on the disease, as the symptoms are very similar to fibromyalgia's and chronique fatigue's. As far as I can recall, I've never been bitten my a tick, but I did the official tests (ELISA and Western Blot), both turned out to be negative. Then, I did another -
more reliable - test, Elispot Borrelia, which is an LTT type essay, and it came out positive to borrelia burdorferi.
So...Throughout all these years, no specialist whatsoever, no rheumatologist, no neurologist, no intern, etc... Ever told me about
Lyme disease. I wonder how this is possible. I've always been told to go get cured, that it was all in my head, that all my blood tests were ok. Now I have the proof that, no, this is not in my head (well, yes, it is in my head, but not what they think). The official blood tests are not reliable. One has to do the Elispot Borrelia, or the Lymespot Revised that are among the only reliable tests for Lyme disease.
No need to have been bitten by a tick to have a tick-born disease. Other blood-feeding bugs bear these pathogens, such as horse flies (those big black flies that sting hard!), fleas, ticks, bed bugs, lice, red velvet mites or rain bugs, some spiders.
Also, it is important to check for co-infections, as borrelia isn't the only infection, there is a myriad (Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, Rickettsia, etc...). But stay away from the ELISA and Western Blot blood tests that are absolutely useless when it's been months or years since you began feeling bad.
I have done chelations for 2 years to get rid of heavy metals, but the problem didn't come from heavy metals. The high load of heavy metals that I have in my body come from the borrelia burgdorferi that gathers them to create a protection biofilm and become resistant. The problem of Lyme disease if highly underestimated. People are wrongly diagnosed as having fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue. People with such symptoms should in no time investigate the possibility of having a tick-born disease and perform the reliable blood tests (not the official useless blood tests). This is important, especially because these diseases are transmittable through sexual relations, as well as through blood transfusions.
