i hope you don't mind me asking about your symptoms. I have dealt with the inside of my skin feeling like it is burning, tingling, and stinging as if tasered and of all the forms of eczema I have this is the worst and most painful symptom. I now am certain it is based upon my allergies because I was given the 5 Day Extended Patch test which identified the agents causing these symptoms and was diagnosed with Allergic Contact Dermatitis, ACD. Finally giving a name to the disease tormenting me, even though chronic, was a relief, I could form a plan and now have it under control. Reading about Morgellons I am terrified for you if you have all the symptoms listed. I can only assume you have been tested for forms of eczema? Still even if you have Morgellons it will be helpful to finally get a name for what is causing your misery, because now you know where to focus your treatment efforts. Your profile page tore at my heart, like you I lost a son who was just short of his 40th birthday. I tell myself he is in a better place and no longer suffering, but the ache is still deep and that was 6 years ago. The loss of loved ones puts the body under stress, it is after that I developed a number of health issues, yet in time found my joyful places. For me it is celebrating life outdoors- just looking at the sky and growing beautiful things healed my mind. I hope you are well enough to have joyful moments and can find a way to celebrate life.

Thank you for your kind words. My heart is always heavy, even when I listen to the news about other mothers and fathers who are suffering.
My life and my way of thinking about things has changed immensely.
Morgellons is a very intense illness. I've never experienced anything like it.
Yes, I do find a little peace in the outdoors sometimes and when I think of my precious boy.

God bless you.

One more thing I forgot. My symptoms are like having my whole scalp filled with red ants, not always biting all the time, but 75% of the time I'm itching and miserable. Plus, I'm so afraid of giving it to others. I keep myself isolated. This has been going on for over two years.
