I have had aches and pains off and on for the last few months, enough to ask my Dr to run test on me. LAst Sept he said I had positive ANA but the lupus panel was ok so I'm not sure if I have lupus. I got a second opinion and this Dr said it was probably fibromyalgia. I have been waiting for the last few months to see a rheumatologist and still nothing. Now for the last 2 weeks I have had severe pain in my lower back and muscle twitching throughout my body. I was talking to a friend of mine and she said I could have lymes disease. She said so many people are told they have fibromyalgia when it's lymes disease which have the exact symptoms. Some Dr's don't test for it because from what she told me, they don't really know much about the testing part. I just did a google search on lymes and it was pretty scary. I have asked my Dr to test me for it but he said I didn't have it. My friend has lymes disease and she is the one who told me to get tested because she was also wrongly diagnosed. I am suppose to have an MRI done on my back in the next few days. This will be my first MRI. Not looking forward to it because I am pretty clausterphobic. Does anyone in here know about Lymes?? Good luck to all!!
