You don't say if you are M or F. You might have FMS/CFS. While mycoplasmas are a KNOWN cause of RA, it has not been proven that it is also a cause of FMS. I do know people with this diagnosis (fms/cfs) on antibiotics for mycoplasma infections. They did NOT hve the PCRs run to determine this - just willing physicians to see what works. Is most of your pain in the soft tissue or do you have joint pain as well. Does it hurt more upon awakening than other parts of the day? See a rheumatologist if you NEED the diagnosis.
