Hi Skogul,
I have never lived in Lyme, CT, yet I got Lyme Disease six years ago. Fortunately for me, I did develop the bull's-eye rash; otherwise, the doctors and everyone else would have probably written off my complaints as neurosis or another facet of my depression until the disease had reached its advanced stages. I was treated fairly early.I should also note that I had NOT been spending time in wooded areas or in fields with high grass.
I hope you can get a thorough medical exam very soon. Are you on any medications that could be causing the fatigue? Celexa caused SEVERE fatigue and prostration. During the months that I was on it, I thought I was dying. During that same period, I had a friend who really was dying of cancer, yet she had more energy than I did. As others here have suggested, before you start introducing new variables (stimulants, AD's, etc.), get a complete and thorough medical workup, go through everything you're ingesting (traditional meds, alternative meds and foods, vitamins, etc.) to see what might be causing and/or exacerbating the fatigue. I hope you feel better soon.
