Eventually, they'll stop labeling people DOP when they see enough patients and start to get educated.
I went to a dermatologist last week and told him I felt itching, biting and crawling on me. He listened to my whole story and I think sympathized. I brought him an article to read which he glanced at.
He said, obviously you are more educated on this than I am, but I have nothing to give you to make it go away. What do you want me to do? I said, "I want you to talk with your colleagues, I want you to contact scientists, parasitologists and pathologists and get to work!"
He said to me, "There are many strange things out there like this disease where fibers..."
"You mean Morgellons," I said.
"Yes.
"And what do you think of Morgellons?"

He suggested I see the psych group of his organization and I politely declined.
I'm done with doctors.  |
