23. I have become OCD about my face, fatigue, sleep issues, headaches, brain fogginess, eyesight has deteriorated, especially depth and perception..Had 20/20 vision my whole life. My eating habits have changed. Oddly, I have become hyper aware-very strange.
24. The first 3 told me that I had adult acne,-which I had vehemently disputed - these were not pimples. The next three I would classify as "the stepford wives" doctors because they all had that sickening smile, followed by offering some form of psychotherapy. Fortunately, I didn't fall for that nonsense, although I did think that their responses were kind of odd. My father, who has been staying with me (does not have Morgellons) has watched my skin change from clear to covered in lesions. He has witnessed my hysteria. When it comes to my well being, my father does not play around. As a result, he slammed every single dermatologist into their place, including a senior dermatologist at Dartmouth Hitchcock. I don't know what he did but he managed to get me in to see the head of the dermatology department at Dartmouth. This doctor acknowledged that he knew all about Morgellons...He acknowledged that they didn't know how to deal with it and the best he could do was to prescribe different combinations of vitamins and various topicals and that he will work with me to try and figure out how to get rid of this or at best alleviate the symptoms, until more is known.  |
