I posted the following (below in italics) on the Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) board a week or so ago but am wondering if it may be more appropriate here. Thanks Fanfaire for your responses on the PN board!

Just to fill you in - I have not been diagnosed with a cause yet for the PN despite lots of tests. I have incredible muscle fatigue and stiffness and have aches and pains all over, as well as, from time to time excruciating joint pain which may be transient and last from -a couple of minutes to a couple of days. Once the pain disappears after one of these episodes, it's as though it was never there at all. There is no swelling or redness of the involved joint/s.

Most nights now I even dream I am so exhausted that I can't wake up and my limbs literally ache and feel so heavy while I'm sleeping and I make dreams around that also. Is this experience common to any of you or am I an idiot?

"It is now six months since I started to get daily around-the-clock symptoms of PN and it is nearly five months since I developed extreme whole-of-body fatigue.

The fatigue is quite debilitating and I am beginning to wonder whether I have ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), Fibromyalgia or CFIDS as some of you may know it as. So many of my symptoms are parallel, except for the Peripheral Neuropathy.

Does anyone know whether PN can ever be a component of ME/CFS/Fibromyalgia?

Also does anyone have any input on longterm sequelae to a persistent Mycoplasma infection?"
