Hi there.

Let me start by saying that I am fully aware that anxiety can cause all sorts of symptoms. I've been dealing with anxiety for close to 10 years. For the most part, I am able to control it. But whenever a symptom comes along, it sends me through a downward spiral.

It started with right sided back pain, which was severe and I was in bed for about a week. Motrin and other OTC pain relievers did nothing for me. Since then, my anxiety has been up the roof. Lately, I have been dealing with flu like symptoms: body aches, shooting pains, muscle stiffness, muscle pain, tender areas. I've been on a quest to find info on fibro and CFS and that is what has me completely unable to concentrate on anything else. I am constantly trying to figure out what my symptoms can be and I don't sleep well and am doing poorly at work as the result.

Hoping someone here can offer some insight or anyone with fibro or CFS that can help?

Hi Cherry,
Thank you for sharing your ordeal. It must be hard and agonising to not know what is happening to you.
Obviously I'm not a doctor and can't therefore not give any diagnosis, but your sysmtoms sound a bit like borreliosis/ Lyme disease.

Have you ever had a tick or a red circular rush in the last few years?
Have you gone to your doctor or GP to have the sysmtomes checked out?
