I spent 20 years doing the same thing until I finally lucked onto a wise dr. that realized the bacterial connection with CFS/Lyme/RA and even Sarcoidosis! Yes I have been diagnosed with all of the above. Chronic pain and fatigue was my constant. I too found relief with opioid meds and sleeping meds. Now after three years of many different antibitoics to weaken the bacterias I can finally live without the constant pain and fatigue. Sure I have bad days and realize I have another two years of abx therapy to be completely bacteria (L-form) free. Thanks to bad medicine and ignorance the Lyme proliferated into L-form.

I've had it for 12 years. After reading this lady's story I have to wonder at her quality of life. It sounds like she spends a great deal of her time heavily medicated - on anti-d's, sleeping pills, tramadol and a heavy duty pain med Vicodin that from what I understand has the potential for addiction. I'd venture to say these types of meds aren't for everyone. If I took all that, I'd be a walking zombie.
