Hi!Some time ago I was posting that docs thought I have stress related twitches...well, I knew many people with chlamydia infections have muscle twitches so I asked testing for the most typical ones.The results were positive for chlamydia pneumoniae (I was expecting that!) and I was told it is causing chronic fatique syndrom too. I will be taking ATB for next 7 months but I feel better right after 2 weeks!!Please, everyone who was not tested for this, request testing!! I have heard in some countries some doctors even do not know that chlamydias are infection that has nothing to do with pure woman diseases..avoid those stupid ones and request complex testing for specific.Do that please because there is suspected relation between multiple sclerosis and this infection.Here is some reading about this nasty bacteria:
Testing Positive for Chlamydia

Hi Savanturn - Congratulations on a definitive diagnosis. 
) Looks like you've found the needle in your haystack! There seems to be so many causitive factors in bcfs/pnhe and I'm beginning to believe that in many cases, it is the way our nervous system tells us that our immune system is compromised. It is so very hard to get any medical professionals on board to help with the detective work to see what it is that is over-burdening our bodies and causing our symptoms but you did find someone and that is great. I did have a question though; how did they diagnose you - did your blood tests show increased white blood cell count to cause them to look further? or did they find antibodies to the bacteria?

How they diagnosed me? I travelled to Prague because I wanted true specialists - and after explaining my symptoms I have been told that it looks like mycoplasma infection (chlamydia). I have been told this one is the most common cause of fasciculations but also most overseen. Lot of doctors unfortunately are not educated so much in imunology.And the main thing - I was on imunology, not neurology.

Hum...I just readup on this and I had posted a question a while back about Herpes. Herpes is related to chicken pox and shingles, both of which are virues and cause nerve pain. i think I'll have my doctor run some tests. Thanks! This gives hope if nothing else.Anne

Hi Savanturn: This is great info and congrats on you diagnosis. What test do I ask for when I speak to my doctor about this? I have had this for a year would the infection still be present or has the damage been done? Do you have to catch it early is another question? Good link to the wiki sight!Thanks for the tip,Lefty C
