Tylee -
I have not gotten diagnosed.. but I don't need to. I know what I got. It would be nice to find a doc around here to diagnose me so my husband can believe me, but I really don't know what a regular doc could do for me, honestly. It would be good for me to get tested for lyme and co-infections, but I honestly would be afraid to go on antibiotics.. they almost killed me last time I took them.
I do have a naturopath, who is new to morgellons, but she is helping me. I say go ahead and seek out a morgellons-literate doc.. but please, please.. you have to help yourself .....don't wait around for a doc... you feel worse in your apartment because your apartment is infested. You need to give it a good cleaning. Please follow this link and treatment steps, especially the environmental cleaning.. and you should start to feel better:
Living with Morgellons-Treatment Suggestions
I think the baths are very important - I usually do 1 5-6 times a week.
I usually use epsom salts, sea salt, baking soda, and alfalfa tablets in my bath water -- I purge a lot through the skin this way. I also have done DE body masks, and this brings a lot out too. I find that when I'm doing regular baths, I do not find black and white specks scattered through the house.
You can also search on the threads to find out what to do for the eyes. I use a boric acid eye wash found at the pharmacy and it works well...
Tylee, you can do this! Start doing the treatment protocol and you should start to feel better soon!
