I'm new to this website and not sure what to do. What I do know is

that I have both Fibromyalgia and RA. It seems when my joints don't

hurt everything else hurts. I'm on Enbrel and got alot better for

awhile but now it seems the Fibromyalgia outweighs it all. Has anyone

out there been through this? I feel alone and isolated. My husband

doesn't get it. He tries to be understanding but he doesn't know.

Does anyone know any fixes? I need to lose weight but can barely get

moving.

>Lori,

My name is Kelsey, I am 26 years old and I was diagnosed with Lyme

in March. Strange coincidence? I have been sick for a little over a

year and have been fighting a multitude of symptoms, including

debilitating chronic fatigue and widespread chronic pain. I can't

work, or do much of anything else, and I really no longer have any

kind of a life at all. When I read your message that sounded just

like something I would write, it makes me realize that I really am not

the only 26 year-old struggling with this disease. Are you currently

being treated for Lyme?
