I'm a healthy person normally. Been fatigued for about 6 months. Still could run 3 miles a day until 3 weeks ago when my knees started hurting then my shoulders. Sometimes I will have pain in one toe or

A finger. My back hurts a little. The pain does not stay in one place for very long. I thought I was fatigued before, but now it is much worse. My arm gets tired just holding a blow dryer up. Went to Doctor and was diagnosed with active mono. Could this be Lymes? I've never had a tick

attached to me that I know of, but we've lived in populated tick areas for the last seven years. My daughter was just diagnosed with lymes by an LLMD and she's had it for about 4 to 6 years.

Hi Luck9,

Many people with Lyme disease test positive for Mononucleosis (myself included). My doctor did not have a reason for this, and I haven't been able to find anything in my research to explain it.

While you don't remember a tick bite, it could have been a nymph in a place like your scalp that you couldn't possibly see. Being as your daughter has been diagnosed, it is worthwhile for you to see an LLMD and determine if you have Lyme disease. An energetic, healthy person simply doesn't have fatigue for six months. Look into it.
