6:45:23 PM | Last night was pretty rough. I was having severe pricking and burning. And when I turned over and looked at my bed I found two wire hairs that didn't look like mine. I remembered Mel's advice from our phone call and quickly went to this website's search engine. And what did I find? It's another symptom. I also read through all the articles on here pertaining to Morgellons and am totally stunned. This is one crazy disease.
Oh weird and random, but thought I'd share... since I moved into my apartment there has been pink fungus growth in my toilet. No matter how much I scrubbed it, it never left completely and always grew back and quickly. Yesterday I noticed it looked different, it was more grey-green, so I sprayed some vinegar into the water. (I had been doing that before, as well.) I started scrubbing and it all dissolved in the water in this murky cloud. Now it's gone. I'm thinking that my diet was probably feeding it. And now that I'm only drinking tea, lemon water; and not eating any sugar, it can't survive. Super weird.
It was one of the components that led to an "ah ha' moment for me this morning. I've only been off sugar for, like, five days, but I already noticed that my thinking is more crisp. I'm realizing now that my problem didn't start when I was infected with the mites. It started earlier with my poor diet.
I've been super into sugar my entire life. Even when I wasn't doing candy, I was eating a lot of fruits because I assumed it was healthy. And I remember having days in grad school where I was so fatigued I couldn't get out of bed. The only thing that ever seemed to help was fruit and caffeine. Here I thought I was putting more and more sugar and caffeine into my body to FIX my problem, but this entire time I have been masking symptoms and making things worse. |
