I am new to the board...and new to Morgellons. I have read and tried many of the "at home" solutions mentioned here and elsewhere. I wanted to share something that worked for me sort of out of the blue. I have been starting to experience severe arthritis in my hands, arms and ankles...so I bought some of that mentholated muscle rub (like Ben-Gay.)
First I took a long bath in JOHNSON'S FOOT SOAP (BORAX) and Epsom salts.
I got out of the bath and did not dry off.
I slathered almost a whole tube of Ben-gay type cream all over my body...even scalp and feet. It was INTENSE and was hot and cold all at the same time. I didn't think I could take it ...but I gritted my teeth and after about 5 minutes the burning subsided.
Almost immediately I noticed a HUGE decrease in crawling and itching.....After three days of doing this, no new lesions...old ones healing and arthritis about 90% gone.... Still some itching but greatly reduced.
I think the key was applying the cream right after the bath...pores were open and it penetrated very deeply.
Has anyone else tried something like this with success?  |
