Greetings williamthegreat and all of my fellow Morgies,

I was totally blown away just now when I seen your web pictures. Last week I decided to air out my bedroom and left a window open for several hours. As I took down the curtains a virtual shower of pearl-like dust rained down on me. I cleaned and cleaned the room for the umpteenth time. The next evening I reached to turn on my bedside lamp and was amazed to see an odd web-like structure draped over the lampshade, it was identical to your picture. Below the shade the web structure was spinning. This was no spider web that much I knew.

I tried to figure out just what I was seeing and how it got there. I think the open window might have been the source because it is quite near to the lamp. However, it could have also been the pearly dust particles clinging to one another as they settled into the room. Looking through a magnifying glass I could see many small threads at the intersections of the web. Most of these looked as if they were doing somersaults! Almost all of the fibers were white but I did see at least 1 blue one. I believe the threads were spinning to catch anything floating in the air.

I continued to watch this amazing spectacle for at least an hour. Finally my curiousity got the best of me and I pulled a hair from my head and lightly touched it up against the web. It immediately became part of the web and started to spin. It continued to spin for 3+ days until I burned the the entire thing with a lighter.
I live right next to Metro Detroit airport and under a flight path so the web could have something to do with that also. Do any of you guys live near an airport?

I have chronic Lyme and Morgellon's. I am in treatment for the Lyme with a LLMD. I am hoping the Morgellon's will be cured along with the Lyme. I was using a walker before I found a good Lyme doctor. Now I am able to walk without the walker most of the time. But I am in constant pain. I don't understand where the Lyme leaves off and the Morgellon's begins. The pain in my knees is really odd and debilitaing. I thought for quite a while it was joint pain but lately I have been thinking that it might be a toxin induced pain. I have these pains even while lying still. I don't know how to describe it.
