Jeremy 1/29/2015 2:22:49 AM | Hi guys, My name is Jeremy. I'm one of the fortunate people here who realized my condition sooner than later. Before I start my story, I wanted to tell you a little about myself. Two years ago I received my masters in writing from one of those fancy shmancy colleges. I decided to move to LA and make it big as a TV writer. This has not happened yet. Instead, I could only find a serving job, and ended up moving into low-income housing. Don't worry! I'm okay with it. My friends worry about me, but in it's own way, it's a gift. I have become more grateful for my blessings, and my heart has grown a bit. So many people here are struggling. Even so, then something happened which changed my life. My apt became infested first with bed bugs then bird mites. That's where my morgellons story starts. I did everything possible to rid my apt of both pests. I had convinced myself that I was still being bitten by mites. And it puzzled me because I keep my apartment so clean. So two months ago, I began heavy research on bird mites about two months and became obsessed. Mainly, because my pin-prick sensations were getting worse. The preventative measures I was trying were also starting to become more and more toxic. Two days ago I read a mysterious post by someone who had posted that pouring three gallons of milk over oneself would kill these bugs. I figured milk was harmless, so I bought two gallons and did just that. What I discovered scared me. On my left arm, I watched as a red thread pushed it's way out of my arm. Suddenly black and red strings were coming out all over, then the black dots started coming out. I was pretty scared. It was worse than that movie, Alien. Once the milk had washed off my body, I decided to continue by rubbing grape seed oil on me and massaging my skin. They wouldn't stop coming out of me, and eventually, I was so tired I got out of the shower and looked at the clock: I had been in the shower seven hours. I didn't know what to do: I had come across some Morgellons articles while reading about bird mites, and fibers coming out of the body sounded ludicrous. And yet, its happened to me. Exhausted, I went to bed and slept 12 hours. I called my mom the next day and cried so hard. I couldn't have an intellectual conversation and told her I would call her back. I was terrified, from everything I've read, people who claim to have Morgellons are seen as crazy, and eventually they end up in total isolation. I thought all hope was lost for me. That lasted, oh about an hour. I pop back from things quickly. I've never been one to give up, and I called my mom again and talked over the facts and what I could do. From what I could discern, Morgellons disease shares similar symptoms to lyme and candida disease. I started removing sugar from my diet. In the past I drank orange juice like water. I decided to substitute this with tea and also vinegar and water. I ate eggs and carrots because they were found on the Candida diet. Instantly, my body started feeling weaker, and I think I developed a fever. Yesterday I had to call in sick because I just couldn't get out of bed. I'm here now because this seems like a good support system, and I want to believe that I can be cured. I love the optimism of this site. And I want to continue telling my story on here to help others. I don't think I can afford Mel's protocol. Im as poor as it gets. But I believe all things happen for a reason, even this disease, I had an open mind before, but now it's even more open. I want to be part of this community and use my optimism to help others. It's the least I can do. Because, you know...I'm so thankful to know Im not alone. And to know there's hope. Love, Jeremy |

I feel lucky for our little community. I appreciate YOUR strength! I feel I am getting there with Gods gracious help! I too am a "red dots, brown dots" person. I have no idea what these are/is. It kinda freaks me out because there are so many! My skin has drastically changed with this illness tough I have been using the coconut oil on it from the very beginning and now. I wonder how can you tell these wiry hairs? Send me a pic on whatsapp!? I would like to see one and compare my images. Glad you are settling into slow and steady so early! You are making great strides and it's good to see your discernment from recognizing good journalism and tripe for tabloids writing. Keep in mind though so very wise scientific minds also do not believe this illness is real. It's thier perogative and right, however, as this very much affects us and we don't have the luxury of Drs who will help - we still need to do what we need to do to try to continue on the path of healing - either way. I always liken this to having something like AIDS (or another "newer" illness) - but instead of in the 90s, you had caught it in the 30s. There was no AIDS in the Merck Manual that far back. Who would ever have believed your condition? Medical journals had not yet even touched on that as an illness and I don't think it was even considered until years later. We are our own guinea pigs right now.. :( We want to try to research as much as possible to become our own healthcare practitioners if there is no one there for us. It's simply the will to live that drives us to learning. We just want to live. :) |
Jeremy 4/16/2015 8:06:43 PM | Hello. Just wanted to update. Ive decided to be a turtle and take the race slowly since it seems to be working for me. Still trucking along. I start the second set of supplements next week. I plan on adding the mms a month after that. I've been having pricking sensations again these past few days. I'm not concerned about it. It seems to pop up from time to time. Yesterday I read a article about Morgellons that really upset me. The writer was "sympathetic" to people with Morgellon "delusions". Them vs us mentality is dangerous,especially when pity is involved. I clicked the article hoping to read the work of a good journalist with something insightful to say. Won't be doing that again. No wonder so few people speak up in this forum. No one wants to appear crazy. TMI time. Over the past few days I've been losing wirey hairs from my chest. So even though I'm feeling bites again, I know the Morgys are dying brutal deaths. (I started to call them Morgys to further diminish their power.) Random question but does anyone know anything about the red dots that are left behind after some "bites"? I dont have any new ones, but a still have ones from when my bites were something fierce. Are these marks something that eventually go away? Hug, Jeremy |
