Have a friend diagnosed with MS. I think it may be tic borne illness. Need to get DR reference for her.

Your friend needs to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!
LLMDs are far and few between, so she needs to go where they are!
Also, most LLMDs do not take insurance due to the politics surrounding this disease. Read poster TF's explanation about this:
She needs to get tested through IGeneX Labs in Palo Alto, CA.
When she calls for an appointment, have her ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner by doing this.
Some more resources for you (including Support Group info): www.lyme-aware.org
The top LLMD, Dr. H, has written a new book entitled, "Why Can't I Get Better?". It is an excellent source of information - see pages 173-184 specifically addressing MS.
Have her read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Get it at your local library or buy it used on Amazon.
