I am a person that has endured Morgellons, contracting it back in 2006. My husband and I were inundated by a dreadful scourge of something biting us on the ankles and eventually all over. We tried everything and were scared to read about Morgellons which fit our symptoms very closely. I had done some research online and that was scary. Lots of scary stories and pictures. It felt like we were suddenly plunged into a nightmare world which no Dr's would even acknowledge. It was exhausting and we dealt with it on our own. One clinic even asked us to please leave, after we had visited it 3 x to no avail. So we were largely on our own. We had two cats that came down with it, since we had encountered it in a massive quantity, while cleaning an empty apartment. the previous tenants had had Morgellons and it was on the floors. So we tracked it back into our home. My husband also got it immediately. It took us a long time to overcome it, but we had no help. In reality, I was the only one to survive it, as my husband died from other complications, which the stress of Morgellons did not help. And our two cats passed away too. So I was left to beat this thing alone and did by and large, slowly. That was before this website could help me, and I never wanted to expose myself to some areas that I had not had the energy to clean up. That was perhaps my mistake, not having the courage to face it again, but it was like I had PTSD around the issue. Anyway I was free of symptoms from 2014-Deceber of 2017, at which time due to much stress, my immune system crashed and I had to go into the space that I had not cleaned, and I started getting symptoms. I believe that it was the perfect storm. I had gotten exhausted by the 20 below weather freezing my drain and pipes in my home, and was having some dental issues from a cracked tooth, which got infected, and then my mom got sick. That stress in retrospect made me a weakened body and the stuff re-infected me. I found this site in desperation, feeling so hopeless that I no longer wanted to live. Having to fight this all over again without my husband was too much to take. I was paralyzed with fear, wanting to drive off the nearest bridge. But I kept going and started reading this site. And now as scared as I still am, I have some hope. I recently listened to an older conference call with Ellen of Troy, and she sounded so much like what happened to me. I am feeling very alone here, though. Doing this with no support system or friends to help, except for Mel. Hoping for the best, and maybe this time I can get the stuff completely out of my body and my home. | |||

Dear Julia, Thanks for reminding me about the garlic...I don't like to eat it raw, but will have some..and ginger! Just want to let you know you are not alone in fighting this terrifying disease..you have been through a tremendous amount in these last few years. You are very strong and brave to have survived and overcome all that you have, and you will do it again--you WILL get well. The traumatizing effects of this disease are significant--I cope with it, for now, by just not letting my mind go there..the minute I feel fear creeping in, I call a friend (or mel), talk to a loved one, go for a walk, pet the dog...whatever, to divert myself. In the evening, I either read something really engaging, or watch silly comedies on Netflix--reruns of shows that make me laugh a lot. It helps combat the anxiety. I will say a prayer for you. I do believe from my own personal experience hat M only attacks us when our immune systems get trashed (mine was by mold)..which explains why no one else in my household, thank God, has gotten sick aside from me. So..I don't look at my house or yard as the enemy anymore..we just need to arm ourselves by strengthening our immune systems, and keeping them strong. I will stay on the Logos supplements and eat right for the rest of my life once I get well. You are not alone in this fight! I am rooting for you. love, Maria | |||
