It is an intracellular parasite and one co-infection that people with Lyme can have. It also is a parasite of our immune cells. I have the same problem but my doc tested for NK function (not count) and mine was very low. I have been treating for Cpn and Mycoplasma Pnuemoniae for 4 yrs. My fatigue is almost gone but I'm not done yet.

Not the same thing at all. If you think you have ME/CFS get thee to a specialist who can do appropriate tests. Presently, there is no cure because most of the research money is spent on the tertiary psychosocial aspects instead of the primary organic causes. But, you can manage this disease somewhat.

Next, Hypogammaglobulinemia, several antibody's are missing, fybromyalgia, melanoma and that is only the top of the list. I feel like a mutant, the doctors don't know anyone else with such a mess. Yes, life suck with this stuff. All I do is take medication or go to the doctor to get more. I'm only 47 and have been looking every where for help.I try so hard not to complain but some times it just gets to me. So many things I use to do I just can't seem to keep up.
