Another new symptom for me. My arm pits feel sore and tender to the touch. Along with my chest area. Can anyone else relate to that symptom?
My joint pain has apparently taken a back burner now. Now I am fatigued, feeling tender all over and my jaw is very stiff.
My diagnosis couldn't come soon enough.

It might be clogged lymph nodes. There is a lymph drain in each armpit. Look up a diagram of the lymphatic system. I found relief doing lymphatic massage on myself. I do it when I take my epson salt bath and I can keep up with the clogged lymph nodes (which are everywhere by the end of the day!!!!)...The fatigue would correlate with your liver being backed up with toxins...just a theory.

I agree with cr3ativegirl - clogged lymph nodes are most likely to blame. My lymph nodes swelled often during my time on abx.
Anything you can do to get lymph fluid moving will help you. Exercise, rebounding, dry skin brushing, lymphatic massage, cold rinse at the end of your shower/bath and even taking red root can all help.

this just happened to me a few days ago due to massive bug die off from the abx i'm on. both armpits and middle chest area were tender just like you described and its as the others said the lymph nodes. before they swelled and got achy both my arms and fingers felt tingly like i wasn't getting enough blood flow. this also happened to the lymph nodes behind my knees. i never knew any existing there until this.

Swollen lymph nodes are also a symptom of Bartonella.

I haven't tried this yet, but you could try a DIY lymph drainage massage?

Thanks everyone. I tried that lymph massage in an Epsom bath last night. I feel a bit better. Still sore all along my chest and feeling nauseous. Rikky1 how are you feeling now? Did your pain subside?
I'm just so upset today. My family doesn't believe me, they said oh take an ibuprofen and get ready for the day. They won't even listen about
lymes disease. I feel so hopeless and alone and all I have is this forum to take comfort in. My husband doesn't really understand it either and I wonder if he thinks I'm a nut job too. At least he is more sympathetic to my pains. I can't believe my luck that I would contract some complicated chronic illness that normal doctors don't treat, (if that is what I have) . I feel like I'd rather know I have cancer or something. I am just devastated beyond words and I feel like I want to die. If it wasn't for my 6month old daughter. I really wish I could. I want to give up on everything in life. I just can't believe this.
