Misdiagnosed with Fibromyalgia or Lyme Disease?

Has anyone been tested for "lime Disease" as well when they where diagnosed with fibromyalgia? I hear that the symptoms of lime Disease almost mirror fibromyalgia 100%...it's nuts! Almost the same exact core issues. Was just wondering about if anyone's been misdiagnosed with either of these chronic diseases?

I was tested for Lyme and got a positive result, but after seeing a specialist, it turned out to be a false positive. The specialist said that most people who have a rheumatological condition get a false positive on that particular test.

I wasn't tested for Lyme when I got my diagnosis, but I feel like having Lyme started off my symptoms. I had Lyme as a teen, getting a tick bite when I was about 16. After that I had one infection after another. And honestly I never had the same energy levels.

Yes, my doctor did blood work to check for Lymes disease before I was officially diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. The Lymes results were negative.
