I think Mike's wording threw things. Neither are
contagious. But, there is some new evidence that
fibromyalgia can be "stimulated" (for lack of a better
word) into action via Lyme Disease. Both are
autoimmune disorders which means that the body decides
to attack itself in a peculiar way. Barat and Anya
also know all too much about RA.
My doctor told me that the Lyme Disease can affect the
immune system in such a way that autoimmune disorders
can be triggered where they otherwise might not be. I
think that was what Mike was trying to say. Not that
RA or FM are contagious.
