Is there a connection between Lyme Disease and Fibromyalgia? Lyme Disease and ALS? Lyme Disease and Parkinson's? Here's some good information:

If there is, then cat's claw (especially TOA free cat's claw) could be helpful. Note that it could take up to a year to restore health because:

"Considering the life-span of intracellular forms of Bb equivalent to the life-span of the cells invaded by these forms, they are constantly released into the surrounding environment upon natural cell death and destruction. The release of intracellular forms of Bb is gradual over time due to the various life-spans of various invaded cells. Since about 90% of these forms reside in various cells (including all blood cells) which have a life-span of 2-3 weeks to 6-8 months, it may be assumed that within a 6-8 month period, a significant majority of all intracellular forms of Bb will be released into the environment where they can be successfully attacked by a properly functioning immune system and a natural powerful antibiotic."

"Bb" refers to Borrelia burgdorferi, a mycoplasma bacteria that causes Lyme disease. There may be other bacteria involved as well.

Here is another alternative medical approach to treating Lyme Disease:

Here is the testimony of one woman's courageous battle with Lyme disease. It is so important to detect and properly treat Lyme disease as early as possible:

First I didn't think I had fibromyalgia. Then I did think I had fibromyalgia. Now I think my fibromyalgia symptoms are a subset of a chronic Lyme disease problem that I have had for 40 years. Over the years I have tried many different supplements to enhance my overall health, especially my immune system. I'm sure the supplements have helped, but it has been a slowly losing battle as I have aged. Fatigue (mostly gone now), some joint pain, chronic muscle tightness and pain, worse and worse memory problems, more mental confusion, facial paralysis (so far relatively minor, but definitely there), some vision loss, dental problems, skin problems. But now that I know what I am fighting, I am very pleased and very hopeful. I feel like God has finally answered my prayers and showed me what is wrong with my health and even what to do about it.

The one thing that I am most hopeful about is sea buckthorn (tea from leaves, oil from fruit, oil from seeds). I have seen information about sea buckthorn and fibromyalgia, but nothing yet about sea buckthorn and Lyme disease. I have only been trying sea buckthorn for a few days, but with good results so far. Hopefully I will have good news to report after a few weeks.
