You can do a whole forum search for Lyme posts & threads, do you recall ever having a tick bite? I think they could be easy to miss sometimes though.
whole forum search - http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/search.php

We do have a Lyme forum here @ NT if you want to check it out.

Some swear by the western blot test, but it's been years since I read up on it so i could be wrong or there could be new info. Sometimes the tests results an be wrong so a secondary or follow up might be a good thing.

One member had TOS & then RSD and after many yrs she found a dr that did some in depth tests for Lyme.
She did have it according to to those results and it had crossed the blood brain barrier causing all sorts of problems with her health.
She had to had very extensive antibiotics for a long time.

TrP info
[To treat Trigger Points, sometimes firm pressure must be applied to the Trigger Point for long periods of time, some shiatsu techniques say 1 to 3 minutes of firm pressure then repeat! Trigger Point therapy can reduce pain, increase movement, and allows the muscles to lengthen and become stronger again. Light pressure is not effective for treating Trigger Points, and in fact may increase spasms as the muscle tries to protect itself, leading to increased and more constant pain. In contrast, moderate to heavy pressure applied to a Trigger Point causes the pain to initially increase, but then as the muscle relaxes the pain will fade.

Pressure should be applied slowly and released slowly for best results. The pressure should be maintained until there is a change in pain. If there is no decrease in pain after one minute, stop the pressure - this is probably not a Trigger Point! While, or after applying pressure to Trigger Points, the relaxed muscle should be stretched for more effective treatment. Either way, if the muscles are not returned to normal length, there is a greater likelihood the Trigger Points will reoccur. ]
