Guest guest Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 " morgellonsmay03 " <michelleathompson Mon, 29 May 2006 08:01:49 -0000 MY DETAILED EXPERIENCE WITH MORGELLONS SO FAR I have been tortured with this ITCHING, BURNING, STINGING, PAINFUL illness since May, 2003, after a deep cut on my right inner forearm. It had spread circular, oval, linear and other wierd shapes & designs and patterns of between 10 to 50 average PER BOTH ARMS & LEGS. After a bath, while drying off, it felt like HUNDREDS of RAZOR BLADE cuts hitting me; within 15 minutes, hysterics set in for seeking for relief of ANY sort. It was sheer panic and agony. Who could even THINK of doing regular daily chores...let alone get out of bed each morning???! NOT ME.Work my job???! Wearing clothes that covered these lesions made them itch 50X WORSE!!! Not to mention THE SHEER UGGLIENESS of those lesions! Horrendously EMBARRASSING! The daily hell continues today, but now just limited to my right arm and last 3 toes on my left foot, expanding onto the top of the foot, looks much like a wierd fungus, but 5 different fungal creams failed! Having had been to about 13 dermatologists, and a couple other types of doctors, having had skin scrapes done several times, at least 10 biopsies, I was ruled free of : Scabies, other mites,lyme disease, diabetes. Of course, I was told to see a psychiatrist or dermapsychologist many MANY times by at least the first 10 doctors. Not one checked me for ALLERGIES. Like alot of others in my situation, I started my own investigation, using a handheld magnifier that cost about $4 at a local Walgreens drugstore. It's in the " eye medication " dept. I too began seeing " fibers " ...mostly white or transparent, but there have been some red and dark blue ones here and there. I saw many many black specks also. Then I borrowed a microscope from my neighbor's kid. OH MY GOD what IS this???! THE TWILIGHT ZONE?!??!?!?! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!NO!!! WHAT IIIIIIIIIIIIIS THIIIIIIIISSSS SH**!?!?!?!?!?!!?!??!?!??!??!?!? Over and over, these skin flakes, chunks, shreds, etc. contained these " fibers " entwined within them; some " fibers " were " free standing " ; some were almost a 20th of an inch long, some were as long as TWO INCHES!!! Some are completely straight with a " hooked " end, some are curly with a " hooked " end....Most just APPEARED like FIBERS; Then I began to REALLY FREAK: I took a little time to just STARE at these " fibers " . A minute, maybe 2 or 3 minutes. SOME of these " FIBERS " are MOVING ON THEIR OWN!!! MY GOD!!!! Their movements are extremely WIERD: They appear to stretch out, twist gently but methodically; appear to " grope " for something to grab onto, they SPAZZ out quickly when ciggerette smoke is directed from below; (I CRINGE when I see these things moving and wonder WHAT THE HELL they want with my skin?????!??! I've dunked them in AMMONIA; they don't die....Bleach DOES kill them after I dunked one about 10 times in it!!! Like most of sufferers, I've helped make richer all those cream and ointment companies WITH NO HELP from ANY OF them!!!Ok, maybe 5 minutes of relief from some of them....but NOT FOR LONG. This is ONE B**** of an organism. I've even BURNED a HALF of one with my ciggerette and the unburned portiion of the organism.....STILL MOVES!!!! UNFRIGGIN' BELIEVABLE!!! I kept going back and forth on my belief of what it was...Now I'm absolutely convinced it is SOME life form that PROPELLS and MOVES itself. I've been doing alot of reading about the GENETICALLY MODIFIED NEMATODES used in lieu of CHEMICAL PESTICIDES. There's actually websites that one can buy them in a large spraying container!!!! How can they be sure these nematodes are not starting to affect humans???! I think this is wherein the orgin of MORGELLONS may be. Prove to me that GENETICALLY MODIFIED NEMATODES are NOT the source. Of all remedies I've searched for on my own for relief of the itching and diminishment of sores, I tried a household spray called RID. This stuff DID MAGICALLY get RID of my itching within SECONDS. But because it evaporates, relief isn't longer than an hour at the most, plus it irritates the skin after a while, drying it out, and causing redness. It is really only meant to spray say your dog's bed for getting rid of lice, or YOUR bed if you had lice. This spray has permithrin, a poison for lice, which is a life form called arachnids, the spider family. Over the course of this 3 year period, I found that this life form, which I think is a nematode of one sort or another, has now invaded my fingernails, ears, nose, sinuses, and God knows what else it's working on now....I've seen them on my cotton swab after I feel this intense tickling in my ears and twist the swab into the depths of the inner ear. I've seen them in nose pickings. I think they're beginning to cloud my vision also. They're in my saliva!!! They're like little tickling hairs that get either infected or transferred by myself. I think they're coming out of my tear ducts. After a shower, I began noticing what felt like tickly fizzing in my ears...such as if soap was still in there drying up. My hearing is getting worse. My concentration levels and attention span are really getting compromised, as my mind is still frantic for an answer to this DAILY BUGGING BY THE HOUR!!! THE ITCHING IS TOTALLY MADDENING, especially on a HOT HUMID DAY, or if I'm using a part of the body that has these lesions on it!!! They seem to root down to the muscle!!! (That's where the REAL heat is, right? Just right to their activation). Sometimes my skin comes off in LARGE half inch FLAKES, and large PEELING!!! Especially after a doctor prescribes an antibiotic after they think I was just scratching and scratching because " I have eczema " ....... The best relief so far is benadryl, steroid cream, and ICE PACKS!!!!I think the ice just puts 'em on hold for a bit, but hell, THAT I NEED!!! Also, what helped a whole lot was 10% sulfur ointment (in Aquaphor, mixed by the pharmacist). About $40 a jar, went through about 15 tubs so far in the last 2 years, but it cleared me of about 90% of all lesions. Messy but it did help, didn't completely cure, no. The rash today that's left on my right inner arm looks different; it appears as though cracks in cement....linear jagged lines, ripped skin (it's in the inner elbow area, lots and LOTS of bending)....it HURTS LIKE HELL....when I bend....it stings....it pinpricks...it tickles....it BURNS LIKE HELL....as though someone lit a MATCH on my skin. I am a 51 year old woman, do not drink or take drugs, but I must have my coffee and ciggerettes...and oh....MY CANDY....I have SUGAR ATTACKS like CRAZY. I have been hoarding candy bars and sweets for the last 3 years....Do worms like candy? I heard that worms don't like salt. Tomorrow I am going to try Epsom salts bath episodes. It could take something THIS SIMPLE to wipe them out, if they're just in the outer layers of the skin, but what of the other areas they've laid ground? We have to find something to KILL IT without killing US!!! Could it have all started on the outside and we spread it INSIDE???!God help us all. I really would LOVE To hear from all of you that have commonalities with nay of my situation. Sorry this was so long, had to get it all out!!!
