Default hmm-

I would go to the Seeking Doctors section here and ask for a doctor in oyur area.


I had all of those acronyms & more- IBS, CFS, MCS, TMJ, IC, RLS, FMS
and it was Lyme disease, HME Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis & Bartonella. Today
I am 100% symptom free today and it is sooo nice. I was in chronic agony and never thought I would have a day wihtout pain.

I am the support group facilitator for SC County, CA and yours is a very, very common presentation. Gerden variety TBD. Seriously. I would try an LLMD, a Lyme Literate MD. If you don't want to do that I would make sure you are tested for

Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis which can cause IBS symptoms
Human Granulytic Ehrlichiosis
Babesiosis- Microti & MO1
Western Blot Lyme disease- and get the bands (39 kda is species specific)

Seriously, it could easily be Lyme & TBDs,
Best wishes,
Sincerely,
Sarah
