Am I completely desperate

Hi I was wondering if anyone else does this and how do you decide what is or isn't. I recently went to a new body talk practitioner (balancing the body) who told me I definitely don't have ms, it's Lyme disease which is curable. She sent me information which made absolute sense when I read it. Basically a advocating that Lyme is the pathogen for ms so you get rid of the Lyme which cannot always be detected with blood tests. I was so super excited. I spent a lot of money to purchase a rife machine and medication that is supposed to clear the Lyme. I went to the body talk lady I usually go to who is absolutely ademant that the other lady is wrong and it definitely isn't Lyme and is ms. The First Lady I went to showed me my own muscle response said it's Lyme and not ms. I feel like I am so desperate I do things that are totally stupid and illogical. At times I think I am making informed decisions and I am a pioneer of new treatments. At other times I feel like a complete desperate idiot who will grab any carrot dangled in front of me. I have been diagnosed with ms by 2 neurologists. My spinal fluid reflct d the bands and I have lesions so?????????? Frustrated

@littlesister , when we're given bad news that we don't want, we'll clutch at any type of straw to remedy the situation. And, that's the problem with someone who is having a crisis, there'll always be someone on hand that wants to profit from it. Older MSers, like me, have seen all manner of miracle drugs and cures, from bee stings to goat serum. Lyme and MS have similar symptoms, but I hope our Neuros are smarter than that. :wink:

There are loads out there preying on us MSers. Not saying that the first lady is, but she could be. I'd go by my neurologists diagnosis. Research at the moment is advancing fast....hang on in there....things will get better. We just have to wait. And you're not a desperate idiot - you're just trying to do the best for yourself. In this case best to rely on the experts. As you say....you have lesions.
