Thanks for posting this! The test showed I'm "equivocal" for RMSF (and POS for lyme).
The list of symptoms is very similar to my symptoms,especially the ice-pick in the eye headaches in the middle of the night!
"Patients' symptoms most commonly exhibited are:
Tiredness (4,5) Headaches, retro-orbital and temporal, worst after prolonged horizontal position or mental effort (4). Myalgia (3) Arthralgia migrating (2,3,5) Loss of balance (29) Vision abnormalities (3,29) Raynaud syndrome (18) Nausea (8,9,18) Recurrent sore throat (23) Memory and concentration deficit (4). Chest pain, palpitations (8,12, 18) Sweats, low grade fever (4) Bruising (4) Psychological and neurological disorders(4,5,18,29,30)"

Wow! I totally agree with the symptoms above.
High dose doxy in combo with other helps me SO much!
The ice pick headaches worse after being horizontal....Totally!!!

yes, me with the headaache too. I always thought I was somehow getting it wrong with myself- I would say to myself, "hey, you are not supposed to feel better standing! get back in bed and lie down and make the headache go away!" but it never would until I walked around.
when it first started a couple years ago I thought I had a brain tumor!
I just started treatment for this so I am eargerly awaiting the verdict
