I'm sorry you have to deal with a number of problems. I wonder if the Lymetriggered all your other issues. Autoimmunity is such an awful predicament, I don'tyet get why more iisn't being done to understand and treat these issues better.
Since writing, I went and saw a sports masseur who did some deep kneading and stretching of muscles round the knee area. It has thankfully addressed the stiff immobility issue massively, i really hope it lasts. Still have all my other probs but that was a nice relief. :-)

Glad the muscles have been doing better. I can certainly relate to all of what you're dealing with, and the uncertainty of knowing what is being caused by what! It can be so annoying.
My docs think it is a very real possibility that the bad Lyme infection set me up for autoimmune troubles later in life. I plan on starting a strict diet program once we move (in the middle of buying a house). I've been stressed from the house buying...and that isn't helping. It has caused old IBS issues to act up (which makes me fear it is autonomic neuropathy and not just an IBS flare from stress), reflux to act up, pain in general. I look forward to being able to settle in and reboot my diet and hopefully fitness.
