I have no sore joints except a sore/stiff lower back but I have European strain Borrelia - perhaps B. garinni. My symptoms are predominantly neurological and started with chronic fatigue.

First symptoms: head stuff, foggy/dizzy like feeling, achey eyes, base of neck/shoulder aches and pains, mild ear ringing

At year 5: intense fatigue, upper leg joint stuff, wrists, constant piercing ear ringing, many food sensitivities

At year 9: all above continues, along with mild muscle and nerve twitches.

finally better...but never had any joint stuff or pain other than headache pain..

I consider myself very lucky

Mine's been mostly neuro, with major headaches, weakness, and fatigue; sweats on and off; aching muscles and gastro stuff, and a very stiff neck.

Always made me feel insecure in my dx. I was very happy when I finally got at least 1 band (41) on my WB.

Just editing to say that I'm now being treated for babs to, and have also had this for 16 years. Dunno about the bartonella. I hardly ever test positive for anything, it's all been evidence based tx for me.

classic....
