Hi David, 

I’m in Sydney and in 2007 I was successively treated with a combination antibiotics protocol for Chlamydia Pneumoniae. I saw Dr Thomas Borody at the Centre for Digestive Diseases in Five Dock (Sydney, inner west). www.cdd.com.au. He put me on Rifampicin, Clarithromycin and Doxycycline and I had a big breakthrough after 8 weeks. I remained on the antibiotics for over a year to avoid re-infection. My maternal aunt had the rapid decline version of MS in the 1960s and I was starting to develop some symptoms myself before I met Dr Borody. They stopped soon afterwards. You may also like to call the CDD and ask if they know any GPs in your area who are familiar with their work. Dr Borody has a long waiting list for appointments (over 1 year) but others there would be available sooner. I recommend that you scroll through the website until you see a video by the ABC TV programme “Catalyst” about Dr Borody. There’s a list of all the doctors if you search “Our Staff”. There are also videos on YouTube if you search Dr Thomas Borody and Centre for Digestive Diseases. 
NB You should check out the website of Dr Sharon Meglathery as I only recently found out that I have a more arthritic version of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I was misdiagnosed for most of my life as my joints do not dislocate - they sublux instead. MS is a known comorbidity of hEDS. Some others are on the same list as given for C.pneumoniae. The first half of the website covers a gene theory but scroll down halfway to the paragraph “To Whom Does This Theory Pertain”?  www.rccxandillness.com. Also check out www.ohtwist.com/about-eds/comorbidities/ . I hope this is helpful for you and your wife.
