I don't know whether chronic Lyme is a thing or is not a thing. But there is something going on and medicine doesn't have an answer for it currently. Fibromyalgia is a useless diagnosis. Most of the time docs don't know what's going on so they just a slap a label of CSF or fibromyalgia on it. It means nothing other than you seem to have these list of symptoms.

LLMDs seem to get much better results than traditional docs for people struggling with these symptoms (just based on a bunch of anecdotes that I've heard, not a study). They may have the pathology wrong but for the sufferer it doesn't matter as long as their condition is improving.
