I've been reading more about this and it makes so much sense. They also believe mycoplasma can cause or trigger FMS/CFS. Apparently I have the same strain found in many Gulf War Syndrome patients, mycoplasma fermentans.

This stuff is hard to get rid of I hear. They have me on something called Transfer Factor and if that doesn't help I guess it's long term antibiotics.
