My sister has Fibromyalgia as a result of Lyme Disease which she had for five or six years. The medical community doesn't consider Lyme Disease chronic, or they didn't at the time, but the consequences of it are. For those of you who have Fibromyalgia, it can improve. She has flares up, but she is usually okay. She'll never be 100%, but she usually lives pain free. When it acts up, she takes prescription strength ibuprofen or naproxen or glucosamine chondroitin. Anti-depressants didn't work for her. In fact, they made her worse because of the Lyme Disease.
