Do you have fibromyalgia? Have you been battling symptoms for years without making any progress? Ever considered the possibility that you've been misdiagnosed?
Visit the RX Lyme website and read the latest guide to the diagnostic confusion between Lyme disease and fibromyalgia.
The article was written by Stanley Lang, M.D. - an esteemed family physician and creator of the 'Natural Lyme Disease Treatment Program.' Learn about the common symptoms of Lyme disease and fibromyalgia and why thorough research of your medical history and a working knowledge of Lyme's markers are essential for an accurate diagnosis.
Both conditions, the guide explains, often manifest in debilitating fatigue, muscle and joint pain, and a variety of neurological complaints. Dr. Lang suggests that current tests are often inaccurate, increasing the likelihood of misdiagnosis. He highlights examples from his caseload where incorrect diagnoses had led to patients undergoing the wrong treatments for years. Tick bites, which are responsible for the spread of Lyme, are not always obvious or noticed at the time, which can mean that the disease is not even considered a match for your symptoms.
“Neurological symptoms, such as numbness, tingling, or cognitive difficulties, are particularly indicative of Lyme disease, especially when they do not respond to typical fibromyalgia treatments,” Dr. Lang explains. “My patient’s persistent neurological issues, unresponsive to previous interventions, raised a red flag that perhaps we were dealing with a misdiagnosis.”
According to the guide, early indicators of Lyme disease include fever, chills, headache, and swollen lymph nodes alongside muscle pain and aching joints. Sound familiar? Some patients exhibit circular skin rashes around the site of the tick bite. Spotting these symptoms early can prevent the disease from escalating and leading to serious conditions such as meningitis, facial palsy, and heart issues.
Markers that differentiate Lyme disease and fibromyalgia include your response to antibiotics. The guide explains that fibromyalgia does not respond to these types of treatments as it is not caused by an infection and is often treated by a combination of medication, exercise, counseling, and stress management. Have your primary care providers been getting it wrong?
According to Dr. Lang, new testing procedures are being developed that will improve diagnostic accuracy for these conditions, detecting the presence of the bacteria directly as opposed to tracking immune response.
This, in turn, will help prevent thousands of people from being misdiagnosed. Dr. Lang says, “Patients often feel frustrated and hopeless after years of ineffective treatments. The validation that comes with a correct diagnosis, even if it is delayed, can be a significant turning point in a patient’s journey towards better health.”
Dr. Lang has been using his Natural Lyme Disease Treatment Program in clinical settings for over 20 years. He adds, “I have seen a better than 90% response rate with patients using the program without the side effects of chronic antibiotics.”
