i am truly a newbie to this have only been afflicted with this for over a month.three days ago, my kness and ankles started to swell. all i know was seemed to start with a bad bout of headlice weve had last couple of months. after 8 treatments think they are gone but have all classic symtoms of morgellens. I speak to you now with vaseline around my eyes ears and mouth, to try to keep it out. two days ago i went to emergency room and all they did was give me a shot of morphine and said i had parasitic psychosis. my 10 yr old girl has too but she was with ex. i was really scared because had social worker talk to me at hospital and i dont want to lose litlle girl because they think im a looney loon. stayed up all night stinging bad also have vaseline on back of neck where i have about 15 sores. trying to sterilize house with enyme cleaner took bath twice already some relief but little. I have a 2800 sq ft home so hard to clean all running out of enzyme stuff and need to have enough to give daughter a bath. i also have 5 pets 2 dogs collies and 3 cats. my husband has to work in nm so i am all alone no car neighbors are jerks and i certainly would not tell them of my affliction. (unless you had it, would YOU believe it?) I am so tired of not sleeping, and just so tired. I am afraid to go out in public can i give this to somebody? can my daughter go to school and play the violin? can my husband even come home to visit? i dont know i am so glad he is away and not suffering with this. I want to see if my daughter and i have lyme disease but afraid with previous diagnosis of it all being in my head afraid i wont get any help. if i hadnt found you site i would have no hope. ty and how can i find doc not a jerk? ???
