ARTICLE BELOW
==================================
This article is being recycled
around the internet, printed by
different news agencies. Otherwise
I would let it go.
We don't advise that anyone who
already has an MS diagnosis to
change it to Lyme, once they find
out they have Lyme. Keep the MS
diagnosis so that you won't be
harassed:

As you can see, ^^^ I have nerve damage
to all 4 of my limbs, OspA in my
spinal fluid, and remitting-relapsing
brain SPECT scans - an MS diagnosis.
(It does not mean I do not have
enough sex; see the new additions to
the DSM-6:
http://www.actionlyme.org/DSM_VI.htm
The New Great Hospitallers)
Roland Martin at the NIH used to
treat his Lyme/MS patients with
*both* MS treatments and antibiotics.
You do not have to advise your
MS MD that you are being treated
for Lyme, or she/he could turn against
you:
http://www.actionlyme.org/MARTIN_NINDS_MS_CHRONIC_LYME.htm
Play up the charade for the most
you can get out of it, and *NEVER*
try to say to your MS doctor that
you have Lyme instead. You will
then be subject to all sorts of
threats and harassments and persecutions,
possibly even jail and lose your kids,
and will lose your long-term disability
insurance.
They don't pay for "crazy."
I find it hard to believe that some
support group leaders are still making
this mistake in handling "their patients"
and mis-advising them.
Ya'll need to pay attention to what
is going on scientifically, or you
could end up hurting the people you
are thinking you are helping.
Don't pay attention to that department
of the NIH- NINDS - any more. Roland
Martin went back home to Germany once
he found out it was OspA all along that
was responsible for the MS outcomes of
Lyme. The NINDS group he used to work
for includes Andrianna Marques, who has
turned coats, just like Pat Coyle. Now
she is spouting the same CDC garbage
about Lyme being [fill in the blank].
Anything but the truth. They're all
afraid of jail time for participating
in this fraud. Thankfully, the outer
scientific world has picked up the
Pam3Cys-B cell immortalizations ball
and is running with it:

WINNIPEG - A Winnipeg researcher says some Manitobans diagnosed with
multiple sclerosis may actually have symptoms of bug-borne bacteria.
Kathleen Crang says borrelia bacteria are carried by ticks and are the
same ones that cause Lyme disease.
Tests for Lyme disease can be unreliable and many of the disease's 75
known symptoms mimic other nerve conditions.
Case studies have even found that Lyme disease can produce lesions on
the brain like those seen in people with MS.
Crang wonders whether doctors may be misdiagnosing MS in Manitoba
because Lyme disease is thought to be rare in the province.
Manitoba has one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the
country.
"If I knew someone with MS, I'd be saying, 'Let's look at those
questions,'" said Crang. "If their MS is coupled with heart problems
or skin rashes or rheumatological involvement, there might be some
question as to why."
Crang's research has found numerous reports in Europe and the United
States of Lyme disease initially being misdiagnosed as everything from
MS to ALS to fibromyalgia.
Crang, 44, is living proof that the mistake can be made. In 1999,
doctors told the high school science teacher that she had multiple
sclerosis. An MRI appeared to confirm the diagnosis. But some unusual
symptoms such as joint pain pushed her to investigate her sudden
sickness.
Six months after being diagnosed with MS, Crang learned she didn't
have it after all. A successful antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease
followed.
