Astrid 9/13/2016 9:25:10 AM | Prior to posting this on the forum I have actually emailed Mel because I was not sure if what I had is Morgellons. Please help me in determining if what I have is Morgellons. Below is what I wrote to Mel: Dear Mel, I have read your website and found information regarding Morgellons. To be honest I am still confused to whether I have Morgellons or not because after reviewing various website including your there are mixed information for my current condition. I live in Indonesia so the doctors here are of no help. They just think I am crazy really. I am scared and confused, and hoping that you can help me determine what is wrong with me. I don't have the exact symptomps that you have for morgellons but I have read on many websites that what I an experiencing right now is the symptoms before a full blown morgellons happen. This is what happened to me. I had a high fever about a month ago which lasted for 2 weeks. The doctors couldn't really determined what was wrong with me but with the symptoms I had the concluded that it was Typhoid (I live in Jakarta, Indonesia so this disease is still very common). After two rounds of antibiotics the second one actually helped, my fever went away and I was actually better. However, during the second week when I was having a fever my skin got very dry all over my body as well as my hair. It got to the point where when I shower my palms would wrinkle so fast and it would hurt a bit due to the dryness. I thought that this maybe the side effect of the bacterial infection I had. Then I notice that my skin feels like it has this layer wax, it may have been waxy all that time instead of dry but I interpreted it as dry, and then it started feeling sticky especially when it is damp. When I touch something, the object would stick to my skin especially on my palms. Also, I didn't feel like my skin was absorbing the lotion that I am using. The stickiness that I feel on my skin, I think I feel it in my mouth now as well and also on my hair, and now my hair is falling off. I have some itchiness as well but it is not constant not it is particularly intense but I do get it on and off. And then just these past few days I notice that there is glitter on my skin. Mind you I wasn't using any products with glitter on it nor do we use anything that has glitter in the product. The glitter is not going away and there are probably more now than it was before. This is what really tipped me off that this is probably morgellons. At first I researched about the sticky skin syndrome, and I found out that the stickiness and the glitter is one of the symptoms of the on set of morgellons or a sign that I will have morgellons. Currently, I do not have any other symptoms yet, but I don't know if my condition will worsen later on. I would rather tackle this right now before it gets worse and nip the problem right away. Do you think I have morgellons? Should I use the same protocol on your website to help me get better? Could you please give me some advice? This is where I end my email to Mel. Adding to it, one thing I did not clearly mention is that I live in Indonesia and the doctors here are quite behind in terms of medical knowledge and I have no medical practitioner that I can work with. So if I do have to start the protocol I am on my own really. This is a bit scary but I think at least I have you guys on the forum to help me along the way. Can I please have some thoughts from you guys. Based on what you have experienced is what I have morgellons? and should I start the protocol in the same way that you all do? I hope to receive some advice from all of you. |

After 2 months of talking to a few people and using the search engine feature on this website, I pretty much do the whole laundry procedure while I'm half asleep, and pretty soon you will too! If you have any other questions feel free to ask, as you can see I frequently visit the website so you won't be waiting too long for a response. :} |
Astrid 10/4/2016 10:42:48 PM | Hi Mel, I may look calm but also freaking out inside, but as explained by you and Ruth, I need a game plan to be able to get better. So that is what I am focusing on. Thank you for being patient with the time difference and my sporadic schedule. Also, thank you for connecting me with Ruth. As no one one in my family is aware of what I am dealing with, the changes they see in the way I eat and my mannerism are confusing to them. Sometime they give me not so nice comments and attitude but I just remind myself that they are not at fault. This is the only time I wish I was not living in Asia. I am so far away and getting all the treatments I need is a challenge. But I try not to stress about too many things and take things one day at a time because that is all I can do. I believe that this is all in God's Plan. I don't understand His ways but I try to just have faith in Him. |
