Our daughter presented at 14 with severe headaches, joint pain, muscle and tendon pain,severe fatigue, mental disturbances, depression for 5 years. Was diagnosed with CFS and Fibromyalgia with no relief...eventually diagnosed with bipolar disorder. After The Western Blot blood test given at age 19 she showed accutely positive for Lyme Disease with Bartonella and Mycoplasma bacterial co-infections...One of the antibiotics that is recommended is Azithromycin. COULD CFS BE CAUSED BY THE LYME SPIROCHETTE AND NO ONE IS TESTING FOR IT?
