Mood Swings, Depression, Anxiety, Extreme Fatigue, Memory Loss. Help With Bacerium For Infected Lesions. Have Morgellon S Disease. Help

So.. I am a law school graduate and a former city commissioner and the reason I mention this is that I have a very debilitating disease coined Morgellon's Disease or Syndrome. I have a history of Axis II trauma based condition BUT I do not have a history of psychotic delusions or the like..and neither do the 100,000 individuals including the famous singer Joni MItchell who all have this unbelievably consumptive illness. I as a person with a history in social justice activism and I am told even my mainstream psychiatric employees that the reason the CDC stopped studying this and implied it was delusional is simply that no money is to be made ( at this time in the search for etiology) from this odd type of immune system disease which is (mostly) treated with immune supports ( herbs), topical treatments, stress reduction to reduce outbreaks on the skin and stress on the organs, sleep and exercise to again reduce stress.
What ethical doctors are out there who give a damn about this situation? I now have very "atypical" mood swings, depression and anxiety extreme fatigue, memory loss and the famous black effoliations and other Morgellon's symotoims. Anyoine who takes a logic course can demonstrate why the external symptoms are not a producto f somatic delusion or a statistics class on the improbability of so many co-occuring delusions. Who are the eithicl MD's who actually will give me the anti-biotics which help this ( I don't know if it cures it, but it helps). I took Bacerium once and it helped for infected lesions.
Among the MD's I've heard of : Brad Gould of Millennium Health in Atlanta, Georgia- Raphel Stricker of San Francisco, CA- Dr. Kanjaroo - Los Gatos , CA ..I have NO CLUE who is an opportunist and who is a real or ethical MD..Can someone help..my degree is in law not medicine and I am in trouble here.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your detailed problem description and am very much surprised to see that you know so many things about your illnessess even though you are not a physician and you are a lawyer.

But I sincerely believe that your knowledge is your problem. Every MD has their own way of treatment and way of diagnosis and way of assessment. Once you become typecast, or over expectant, you are bound to undermine them. Means disbelief. Means firther dissatisfation. Dissatisfaction leads to further doubts. Belief in a doctor, is key. If your current doctors are not believable, find someone who is believable and stick to them.

Also you should go for yoga and meditation to streamline your thought process and metabolism. They should help you immensely.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
