Diagnosis of Lyme Disease and of Fibromyalgia

In short, it took me right at 10 years to be diagnosed with Lyme Disease and 7 years to be diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. During this time period I was seen by at least 10 different doctors. I kept testing “normal” on all the standard blood tests such as ANA, etc, yet my health was deteriorating. Only upon seeing the visible change in my liver during an operation was I finally taken seriously. Through the following links I was able to get the testing done that led to diagnosis. The following links also helped me know where to start in terms of regaining my health. Hopefully they’ll be fruitful for you as well . . .
