A lot of people have mentioned this already, and I see that you're aware, but try to take another look at Lyme disease as a possible candidate. There's a huge controversy over it that I'm sure you're aware of.
If you haven't seen the movie "Under Our Skin", go see it now. It's all about the insanity surrounding Lyme disease, and basically the conclusion is that you need to find yourself a real expert on Lyme disease, and unfortunately they're not easy to find.
- jacquesm 16y agoYes, definitely seconded, it is a very tricky disease. Too many of the symptoms match, especially the heat sensitivity is a strong one.

- Shooter 16y agoI was on antibiotics for about 15 months before I had what you could call a dramatic improvement for some symptoms. It can take longer. Spirochetes can form cysts and biofilms, etc. Co-infections can complicate things. Different strains can react to meds differently, etc. I'm still on meds more than two years after diagnosis. In any case, it can take years to get better in some cases. And some symptoms may just be from permanent damage or from the (theorized) auto-immune response to Lyme. Some of my symptoms (endocarditis, myocarditis, brain lesions, etc.) are definitely permanent. But I'm thankful I didn't give up on antibiotics because of the "experts."
