Laura thank you for your very wise words.
I always refused to get a microscope to examine these strange things that leave my body. Mostly fibers, but at times seed egg type things, black plastic, black charcoal stuff, many colored fibers, white specks...
They have been disturbing enough without magnifying them and distressing myself further.
I did send some to an entomologist who declared there were no insects. My doctor looked at the taped specimens and put them in the bin, so that was that!
It's hard at times to stop oneself from looking closely as of course we want to know and understand what this is. But looking and examining hasn't brought clarity, just more anxiety. So I totally agree with you and Peter saying, "wipe and go. "
Why prolong the upset?
But this is indeed a work in progress. I find the biting sensations are distressing and I sometimes look to see the marks left and allow myself to get upset over them.
But if using the same principle, I know I should try my best to not allow my emotional attention to go there, to distract myself as much as possible.
It is very hard to accept that we have this Disease, but we must focus on healing much more than the disease symptoms themselves.
It's not easy, but it sure helps being able to talk with others on the same journey,
