Body itching

The comments from the doctors stating that you have a psychosis for parasites has me furious. Many people, as well as doctors, label things they don't understand as mental issues. I can't tell you how many told me I was imaging the headache I get just walking by the tire dept in a store or how I feel when exposed to cigarette smoke. My rubber allergy results are in black and white now for others to see, testing as high as the test goes, so much so that the off gassing let alone contact raises my histamine levels. Like you and others I have had symptoms which confused many doctors and their labeling us neurotic is an easy out. You are on the right track to getting this figured out, just like I did (yes, I had physical causes for my symptoms as you do to). I found doctors that believed me and helped me. You have many of us that hope you learn something with your upcoming appointment and I don't want to pressure you but many feel invested in your life now so if you are up to it share what you learn.

That was one thing I was thinking when I found that on my couch pillow. Mine doesn't have color in the threads. Another thing is how come I didn't feel that when combing or brushing my hair? No one has been in my condo since May so I know its mine.

Sorry to say, I don't have an upcoming appointment except with my family doctor. She doesn't know much about skin disorders or parasites, but she cares, listens, and referred me to my first dermatologist two years ago. I am treating myself right now by following a protocol I read in a book, on how this new friend of mine helped himself with a parasite problem he had for years in the 90s and how he got free of them (his particular nightmare was the Collembolo or sometimes called Springtails). The book is his history with this parasite and how many things he tried to finally figure it out. It took him many many years to find an answer. He has helped many people so I hope I'm on the right track. His book is called, "How To Get Your Life Back from Morgellons and Other Skin Parasites," by Richard Kuhns.
I've just started a special diet this week and will keep you updated. If anyone knows of any scientist who is interested in my case, please let me know. In the meantime, in not giving up, although sometimes I want to.

Here us a picture I took two nights ago after my last bath of the day. Baths or showers take up my days.

My little dog, Millie, is so very patient. She and I know each other very well. She can tell when I'm so very tired of the biting all over me and I'm getting overwhelmed that she will just come to me and either sit and stare at me or if I'm crying she will start barking until I stop. I pray she doesn't get them, too. She has an appointment with her doctor next week. Hope veterinarians are more attuned to parasites than our MDs.

I get sidetracked. Here's the pictures taken two nights ago.

@basslakeview - so sorry you have spent all these years ... isolated and fighting this alone. Early on in my husband's journey we chased the Morgellon's possibility and it seems to me there was a medical school, or some institution that was making Morgellons a priority .... but it will take me awhile to try to find who/where it was.

Thank you so much. I just found a foundation right here in Texas. It looks as if that is all they do, research on Morgellons. It's the Charles E. Holman Foundation in Austin, Texas. I will write to them and send some of my photographs.

basslakeview I hope you get some relief somehow. It must be horrible to be itching all of the time.

I just started a new group...I forget who I've told so if this is old news just ignore. Its called "Morgellens and Other Parasites" if you run into anyone interested.

Here is the link to the new discussion group the @basslakeview started in the Skin Health group:

I have been diagnosed by Mayo with Central Sensitization Syndrome. At the onset of an adrenal storm back in June 2017, I was itching ALL OVER and had terrible pain. First my Primary misdiagnosed me with scabies. Well that was not it, as I went through 5 tubes of permethrin cream and countless cortizone creams with no help. He then prescribed me a cream in a little tube (as a dab will do you). I believe I found the cream for reference, as I only have short bouts of itching now, mostly on my head. The cream is Clotrimazole and Betamethasone Dipropropionate. From the name, it is most likely a steroid ctream. Amazing. The only other thing that killed the pain and itching when it was horrendous was actually drinking about 5 shots of Fireball. No kidding. I am not a big drinker, but I was willing to try anything. In about 30 minutes after having the shots, I was fine. I would continue 1 shot an hour to maintain the calmness. Hope this helps. I am not advocating drinking as a solution, but rather sharing my experience with all over body itching.
