Could be Lyme's. . .could also be, I hate to say it, because it's a bitch, Chronic Fatigue Illness. . .But most of all, you need an "alternative" type of MD, perhaps one associated with a CFS-FM or other wholistic clinic, as *they* are the ones who will listen to odd symptoms. And it is too hard to purse dx with ordinary doctors, never mind those in a hospital setting - you will just become unnecessarily discouraged. Your symptoms are outside the box, so look for a practice that seems the same.

As you probably know, the Lyme's dx is *still* a bit uncertain. There's lots on the web; I see it often as someone with CFS searching out info.

The first thing to do, however, I guarantee you, as a 20-year CFS vet, is to PROMPTLY FORGET hypochondriasis. Take any such dx as a signal - an offensive one, to be sure - that you are in the wrong doctor's office - it's something they throw out when they're at a loss, and it's really stupid, it's criminal, for it *does* harm the patient - and besides, *you* are the expert on you.

Let me know if I can help,
Zo
