A member asked:
I was bitten by two ticks last june and have been having fatigue and joint pain. treating with sulfasalazine since march this year. lyme?

Could be Lyme: If it is, the antibiotic you're taking won't help. Get checked out by a specialist in lyme disease, ask your gp to test for lyme. Igenex labs have most specific/accurate testing, and even then a test can miss the diagnosis sometimes.
