Hi Charles, welcome to the site. I know how frustrating this disease is - the worst part of it for me was to go from doctor to doctor and only leave there bawling because within the first four minuites of the visit, I knew exactly what they were thinking and going to say -that it was all in my head and to leave the sores alone. Then, to top it off - thinking that if I brought proof, a sample, well wouldn't that prove it to them? Nope. That is considered a symptom of delusional parasitosis (wonder where they thought I dug this crap out of?).

I was on cloud 9 this summer when a friend cut an article out of the paper regarding morgellons. She said it sounded like what I had been dealing with. I was absolutely on top of the world, to think that someone else had this. And had a name for it! Not that I was happy to see others suffer from this, but I had felt alone in this for over ten years.

I have had much luck with the salt/peroxide soaks; vinegar/water soaks, selsun blue washes, vitamin c and garlic supplements that Bubba has listed. The great thing is, that the vast majority of it is cheap, you can go to the drugstore and get it.

None of these treatments work over night. But I tell you what, I had seen more results in a week (now it has been approximately two months) than ANYTHING I have done in ten years.

I know it is frustrating. I don't use all of the treatment steps recommended here ((I must confess I am being lazy about it). But what I have been doing, I have been diligent with. The lesions on the side of my face, I am sure is the International Heaquarters of my Morgellons and they are vacating (goood riddance!!). So until that glorious day comes, we all have to be patient (I know it is hard) and make use of what has worked. Some things may not work as well for all but I would be willing to bet that you WILL find some relief from the tips here. You WILL find HOPE here - if you really want to find it.

So hang in there, Charles. We are all in this together, and as Bubba says, WE WILL WIN!
