If you have a diagnosis of myalgic encephalomyelitis, always look for the underlying disease. Lyme disease is very often the cause. The symptoms are similar. I had this diagnosis (CFS/EM) 15 years ago and eventually found out that I actually had Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections transmited by one tick I hadn't seen. This is one of the main causes (not the only one, but the most important to look into). However, be aware that Lyme disease tests are not very reliable. Lyme disease specialists first check for symptoms (some symptoms are particularly typical) and do a blood test as well, but only at the best labs for testing for this disease (Igenex in the US).
