Friends,
I stumbled across an awesome Medhelp dialogue where some not so uneducated patients stiffled the neurologist AND MADE HIM ADMIT to the similarity between MS and Lyme.

As you read the initial question, he gives a bull crap answer. Usually after the neuro answers he moves along. BUT, why did he keep coming back for more? BECAUSE DEEP DOWN HE KNOWS!..

Especially for you LD Msers, you gotta see this.

Holly Crap!!

that is crazy....i just read the postings....he or she sounds just like my ID specialist. The only two reasons she gave me for not having lyme were...your exposure does not impress me and you tested negative in Canada. When I asked her how good the testing was in Canada she said....you received the best testing Canada has to offer.

That neuroligist is not holding ground at all!!!

Thanks for bringing it to our attention

hurray for ANON, looks like he/she got the message across, maybe not to NL w/out clue, but to Maureen!

ANON if you are out there somewhere--good job. I wish ANON had been by my side when this mess started!

John, 3 things come to my mind when I read your thread & direct link info.

1. Please copy the link and paste to the newbie who asked the question in the last 2-3 days about lyme & MS similarities.

2. Please edit your topic line and show:

MS and Lyme similarities in LOWERCASE please.. [group hug]

3. The ALL CAPS is considered shouting, and I'm sure it is also in the FAQ, frequently asked questions as well. (It's also hard on our eyes for many of us having lyme for decades like me.)

Thank you for your consideration John, and thanks for finding the thread to post here! [Big Grin]
