Pdidit -
No need to apologize for being "negative"....happens to all of us....we are not saints.
I want it gone yesterday, too...or even an absolute ANSWER about what it is, even if the news is bad, you know??? I just want to KNOW. This limbo is becoming unbearable.
I sure wish I had an answer about the environment. Many think the environment isn't even an issue, that it is just "shed debris", and that treating our "internal" and skin "environments" is what is required. Then others go nuts cleaning, spraying, etc. I don't even know from my own experience, although I am inclined to think that at certain stages some sort of infective "travels" in the environment. I have seen things that look like skin-toned, tiny larvae with dark head in the environment. That was before I even knew this was Morgellons. I saw it under magnification "waving" like a cobra.
God, if I only knew what I had at the time!!! A "live" specimen would have been so valuable! I just threw it away.
I am inclined to believe that Lyme is a common co-infection, though not always present, and that treatment of the Lyme can help. But I don't think Lyme is Morgellons (many do, I know), and I don't think that treatment for Lyme will help Morgellons, though many of the symptoms overlap so some relief is possible.
I'm so sorry that it is so rough for you right now...and I pray for all of us.
