Welcome to our forum and our community.
My child and myself have morgellons and Lyme disease. He is now 5 years but has been on the protocol since he was 2 years old and has been infected for longer. I can relate to your situation a bit.
Whilst I have been on and off antibiotics over the last 4 years, since I came to realise what I actually had, I have rarely given them to my child - only when absolutely necessary. He had a lot of problems with his ears and middle ear infection and ended up having to have a procedure to insert grommets.
I was lucky to have a GP who was willing to be open about both morgellons and Lyme disease (neither are recognised in Australia). He always advised me against antibiotics for myself, unless necessary. I found that once I stopped taking them that my body actually healed quicker and was better able to heal itself. He also strongly advised to not give antibiotics to my child.
It is my opinion that children need to be able to let their bodies develop and maintain their own immune system and that we have become a society too reliant on pills to fix every ailment.
Having said that, though, children who have morgellons and Lyme disease already have compromised immune systems.
As a mother of three children and grandmother to two, I have always relied on my own observations and maternal instincts to know when my children are ill and were not coping with illness. There are many great doctors and many doctors who feel that they are the authority on our own health - which isn't always the case.
I hope my thoughts are helpful to you in some way Liz.
God bless you and your son.
Teresa
