Hello Monique,


Welcome to the community here! I think we all find the morgellons symptoms frightening and its so hard when we're not believed by the people who normally support us.

Reading through everything on this site is a great way to start. Its what I did first and took notes while I read - it felt as intense a study for me as if I was revising for an exam! I wanted to get all the information I needed to do it all right!

I'm in my 10 month of the protocol now and am feeling so much better. While I was waiting for the supplements to arrive I changed my diet and the diet articles here will give all the information on what is needed. I've found that I can stick to the diet even when other family members around eat all sorts of things, even when I cook for others things that I won't eat myself its been fine, once I made the decision.

What has helped me a great deal was knowing that finding this site was an answer to a desperate prayer I prayed one day knowing that I couldn't carry on anymore on my own. God showed me this site in a way that I knew it was the way forward and that belief has sustained me through the journey that at times is tough - no matter what others say about what I'm doing or how hard the choices are that have to be made, I have faith that this is what God has provided for me and is the way He is going to heal me. It has taken a lot of the fear away. I am so grateful for Mel, John and Peter and for everyone on this site.

If you can join in on a Friday or Saturday call it is a great help to be able to ask questions and chat to others.

I'll be praying for you,

God bless,
Ruth

Hi Monique (Mo!)

Know that you're not alone in this. I can relate to the "germaphobe" comment. As I used to be very aware of possible bacterial infection & not wanting to get filthy (as a child).

I know from experience that the only way to really overcome this, is by desensitization (= repeated exposure to that which you are turned off by).

This does not mean you shouldn't be aware of what's going on, but it's more about accepting that it's there, and for now it's part of your life, but it does *not* have to rule your life.

It is very important to keep your mind off it by nurturing yourself in positive ways (by shifting focus on those things that make you happy).

It could be a certain type or flavour, scent, colour, or sound.

Engaging the senses is a very effective way of providing a balance for the overwhelming thoughts & emotions you're experiencing.

You could perhaps consider investing in a diffuser and some essential oils, or a facial steamer or a foot bath (if you haven't already).

Even the smell of MMS (when used for cleaning - e.g. floors) can greatly help encouraging a sense of cleanliness (and thus, help you feel somewhat relieved).

I believe you'd benefit greatly from creating a little "sacred" space in your home, where only *you* get to come.

You could use some scented candles/scented wax, incense sticks/incense powder/resin, scented satchets (if you like any of these).

The key is to engage the senses in order to get relief from the overwhelming thoughts.

Another way you could go about getting reief, is reserving a specific time of the day, to pamper your skin (e.g. apply a colourful scented scrub).

And do something similar for your hair (like apply a colourful scented paste to your scalp and hair).

You could either choose to purchase the above, or make your own from scratch.

I hope this is of some help to you (I know it was for me!).

Do let us know how that parasite cleanse is working for you.

I wish you well for now.

Hang in there!

MB
