It is entirely possible that your Mom has lyme and maybe common coinfections too like babesia, bartonella, ehrlichia, etc.
Symptom list p 9-11, coinfection symtptom info p 22-27 of Dr B's paper.
Many people with Lyme disease were first misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, MS, RA, etc.
99% of Dr's do not understand how to recognize, diagnose or treat chronic lyme.

Very possible. And it's Lyme disease, without the S All of those symptoms are Lyme symptoms and Lyme is almost always misdiagnosed by mainstream doctors.
Myself for instance. I was diagnosed with MS and then possible Lupus before seeking an LLMD and finding out I had late stage Lyme disease.

Yes, that all sounds like lyme to me.
Many times lyme is misdiagnosed as lupus. Many doctors will diagnose lupus RIGHT AWAY if a patient tests with a high ANA... but many lyme patients have a high ANA that sometimes lowers by itself while taking antibiotics for lyme disease.

Thanks for all the answers. I told my mom about it and I'm going to look into a Lyme knowledgeable doctor for her.
She told me that her grandma had RA. I told her from what I read the Lyme can be passed down. Is it possible that I could have it if she does? I hope not but just thought to ask.
