Any one have CFS - then a tick bite with Lyme made everything worse?
I suspect my daughter has Lyme (being tested now), but now I see that she has had many CFS symptoms for 4-5 years, but was able to cope with plenty of rest. Now she is very fatigued! I wonder if she may have had something else going on before the tick bite and that is why she has so many symptoms now. If it's not lyme, I think it must be CFS!
Hi Momma K. I hope your daughter's doctor is able to sort things out. It is possible that she has both Lymes and CFS. I have learned from people on the Lymes forum that some of the tests can be negative and a person can still have Lymes. Let us know how the testing goes and please feel free to ask any questions you have about CFS.
