Dave,

I was saying waiting 1 to 2 months for the appointment (if your waiting 5 years for an appointment your in trouble mate!) and i also stated that the doctor will most likely give some incorrect diagnosis. Which is why its important to see a Lyme literate doctor that if your lucky also specialises in chronic illnesses and hopefully will treat the Morgellon symptoms.

I know in Australia that can be very difficult as there is only a handful of doctors in Australia that actually know how to treat and recognise lyme disease. If i was you and you didn't have any luck with some of the Infectious disease and Lyme literate doctors in Sydney i would be getting on a plane and visiting some of the specialists in the States that you know 100% are treating Morgellons. Expensive but i can never put a price on health and well being.

If you have Morgellons and your symptoms are as you say and you haven't treated it with antibiotics etc then there is a good chance that you will show positive for lyme disease and chlamydia pneumonia. I have a couple of names of doctors in Sydney who specialise in this area i can pm you the details if you would like.

Its probably best with these doctors unless you know they recognise Morgellons to not mention this and play along the lines of wanting to be tested for Lymes Disease, Babesia and Chlamydia Pneumonia and other coinfections and emphasising the fatigue symptoms, headaches, tiredness and skin symptoms that your having rather than coming out with i have worms coming out my skin or handing them a box of fibres. That instantly gives them ammunition to palm you away.

Anyway i can see your frustration but if you get a doctor that knows about this and will treat you will not regret and even if its not in your own country.
