chronic fatigue syndrome after Lyme

Has anyone been diagnosed for CFS after having and been treated for Lyme? I contracted Lyme May 2011, went undiagnosed until Jan 2012 and then was on abx until July 2012. I had to stop the abx because even with tons of probiotics I kept getting recurring yeast infections. I was feeling a LITTLE better but am now feeling worse again and now have a sore throat along with the other symptoms (headache, neck ache, joint pain, extremely weak legs, memory loss etc). I didn't have the leg pain before. ?? Anyway, two of my drs thinks I have CFS which could have maybe been caused by the Lyme and think continuing with the abx can wreck havoc on my body. My Lyme dr wants me to start taking abx again until I am completely symptom free for 1 month & doesn't believe there is anything else wrong with me. Unfortunately there is no real treatment for CFS and I am afraid to start abx again because of the yeast issues. A good friend of mine was diagnosed with CFS, did not have Lyme and was experiencing the same symptoms. After ALOT of rest and then a healthy diet, vitamins and exercise without overdoing made her feel better. Anyone experience anything similar that has advice?
Thanks!

There are a lot of herbal antibiotics that don't tend to cause yeast problems - this might be something to consider, though usually an MD won't know much about them.

I was diagnosed with lyme, then chronic fatigue, then fibromyalgia, then lyme again. It's really hard to tell the difference between all of these similar conditions, if there's actually any difference at all. While I was being treated for CFS (at that point, the lyme was considered a thing of the past, but I have no idea if it actually was!), I did get a lot of relief with IV vitamin C and glutathione treatment. Eventually I did get worse again, though, but there's really no way to tell if it made the lyme bacteria go dormant, and then it came back, or if it was something else causing this all entirely. Vitamin C and glutathione are usually reported as helpful in people with lyme disease, too.

If the worst of your symptoms are with fatigue, you might want to look into testing for certain viruses (like EBV) - different doctors/practitioners have varying opinions on how/whether to treat these things and if they're what's causing the fatigue, but either way it might be worth looking into. I know the uncertainty is really frustrating - I like to focus on the fact that whatever's going on, certain things will help either way, and then I go and do those things! Anything that will improve your health overall will take the burden off of whatever's going on disease-wise.

Are you seeing a lyme literate doctor? If not, you may not be receiving adequate antibiotic treatment, such as a high enough dose, treatment for all the possible forms of the bacteria, etc. Sorry for the scatter-brained post - serious brain fog today!
