my marriage was breaking up, my parents had died and I was trying to clear the estate, i lost my job -- i remember being flummoxed by the weird rash but couldn't pay much attention to it.

and YES, fibro/CFS is a crappy dx! it's a description of symptoms rather than a root cause.

so glad you were able to kick lyme!!
