Boy Pepi you were right to say take this with a grain of salt!

My fibromyalgia like pain is much better with antibiotic therapy.....after 5

years of being misdiagnosed with FMS, unable to find anything including pain

meds to relieve the symptoms, my tender points are MUCH better.....I no

longer cringe when my kids hug me!!! (And I do not take any pain meds) I

certainly would not advocate taking antibiotics if no " infection "

source......but I know how hard it is to get a proper dx.

Happy, if you find more of his articles, his or Sigals they contradict

themselves and each other constantly. Pepi

This is written by Steere, so read it but take all its meaning with a grain

of salt, after all he doesnt believe in Chronic Lyme. So that is all in our

heads!

Actually, mine is (today) in my fingers, neck, head, feet, ribs, knees. . .

.. .LOL I have to share with you all a great Lyme Fog moment: Today I went

into the bathroom just off our kitchen (sort of a half-bath guest bathroom)

and just stood there for a minute, forgetting why I was in there. Then I

remembered. I was looking for the peanut butter! (I wouldn't be surprised

if one one of my foggier days I put the peanut butter away in the medicine

cabinet! ) --charlotte

Dr Steere is one of the original Drs that put a name to Lyme Disease back in

the 70's. He is , virtually sinle handedly, responsible for many Lymies to

not be able to get treatment. He has The Ear of the medical establishment

at large and has them convinced ( without good scientific backup ) that we

are suffering from " Post Lyme Syndrome " whatever that means. He is pretty

much the Anti-Christ of Lymies, ( No offense meant there ) He Sigal and

another that i cannot remember the name of now, UGH, are the on

insurance companies payroll ,they testify as an 'expert' . answer ya? hope

so!!! LOL Pepi
