I think the symptoms can be similar, but the treatment is way different. There is a special blood test for Lyme, not all labs do it. That is the gold standard. Fibro, is a lot of tests to rule out something else. And there is no magic pill to fix it. There is the pressure point test that is usually used to help dx it. And to make it worse, some docs don't believe fibro is real.
I see a pain management doc. He is wonderful. He gave me my dx, and is willing to help me with meds, handicap parking permit, and a cane. A rhumey can help you with either also.
Good luck!!!
