Have you ever suffered from lice, eczema especially being blamed on stress, neurodermatitis (simple eczema made worse scratching it), tinea (a bad fungal infection of the hair , skin or nails), folloculitis (an infection of the hair roots), cellulites (a skin infection), seborrhea, impetigo ( a rash caused by a bacterial infection), obsessive or compulsive skin scratching or drug side effects?

This is a new disease which even doctors are just beginning to understand and recognize in their patients with skin rashes and disorders. Actually, scabies is the closest thing to Morgellons if any other disease can be said to be similar in appearance and morphology.
But when should one really suspect have contracted the Morgellons disease? These are some of the symptoms that are associated with it and different from those of Scabies. – Rashes ( non healing sores on skin) – Continuous itching or a burning sensation under your skin as if something was moving there. – Feeling as if there are insects or fibers under your skin – Fatigue – Loss of concentration
The symptoms of Morgellons and similar disease states include any of a number of symptoms. The basic rash, tiredness down to a standard description of exhaustion. The feeling and feelings of something crawling under the patient’s skin. Fibers and fibrils. Insects emerging, coming and going from eruptions in the outer layers of the epidermis etc etc etc. Often though as in most people with serious, chronic diseases it is not simply a matter of one simple isolated medical disorder. It is not only a case that these poor people are rundown and are prone to other afflictions, infections and even epidemics as well. Being run down and even immunodeficient and immune-suppressed not only by the passage of time of their affliction but also by the various treatments they have been subjected to and endured , they may and most likely do suffer from a whole raft of other ailments and medical disorders. It seems that if you as a patient have morgelons disease you most likely have something or lots of other medical conditions as well. These concurrent ailments make the diagnosis all the more difficult to obtain if not also to seek therapy and therapies.
Every day greater awareness towards understanding of Morgellons Disease is developing. Research and education is ongoing. Shortly treatments will be made available. With all the efforts and with greater understanding more and more will be known about this specific disease and its therapy and treatments. Yet it may well be tool late in time for many who have suffered along with this terrible ailment and disorder only to be effectively ignored or are best told that they are simply “crazy”. After all, for living along with and through this terrible ordeal, suicide is not unknown for these victims of this little known and oft acknowledged medical and emotional condition.
