Terri,
I feel so helpless to offer anything of value about the swelling. Since it's Morg related, it's not an easy thing...but maybe one of our nurses here can help with immediate actions to take for the symptom of swelling, at least. You may have to bite the bullet and go to the hospital. We are in an unknown zone. I'll be thinking of you.

Terri....are you drinking enough water daily?

Terri -
My hands have been swollen and painful for a couple of months now. It's an inflammatory response to something. I am going to be getting an explanation and what to do about it within a few days (Dr. Staninger). I will share what she has to say.

Thank you Kritters and Sadsack After ,getting a new change of clothes socks underwear, and getting away from home a day my feet have got better and my hands to a certain degree, I had showered and changed a few times before getting the new clothes,you cant every single time feel the morgs in your clothes as you would think, not in this way I thought all my clothes were mostly clean but the morgs did not want to do the regular things that day they wanted to make me swell, and today Im better love terri

Hi Terr
I have this too and want to encourage you to use the rice poultice that I explain in my other threads. It pulled a lot of the silica out of my skin/tissue and for myself at least I am sure the silica is causing a lot of swelling.
I also use the hair dryer to heat up the morgs - eases the itching and has helped the swelling in my feet/ankles.
By the way, does anyone else have the brown freckles? I have them all over the top of my feet, also on my arms. The brown freckles appear in 3's - if you look hard you will see the pattern. They form a triangle - sort of like two eyes and a nose. They can be as much as an inch to inch and a half apart. They are part of the crustaceon's body. When I saw these forms erupting out of the rice poultice, or I should say, into the rice poultice, I knew why I did not feel good. It's a wonder we can co-exist with these things at all.
I know I sound crazy. I'm not. But yes, I too have been offered Orap. Yeeeee

Terri this is an area I am all too familiar with but unfortunantly I don't have any answers for you. In the earlier days of my infection with this parasite, begining some 15 years ago, I would get acute, severe swelling of my ankles and knees, usually one at a time, and it would be accompanied by severe pain and this was diagnosed as gout and pseudogout. Begining about 5 months ago I started getting unilateral swelling from my knee clear down to and including my foot, sometimes with joint pain sometimes not, sometimes just one leg sometimes one leg and both feet and at times my feet swell so much I can't get my shoes on. I finally decided I had to go to my GP and when I did he was very concerned and sent me to the emergency room to have ultrasound to check for blood clots and also blood tests to rule out kidney, liver, and heart problems. So at the hospital the ultrasound showed no clots, blood tests showed nothing either, my knee was also swollen at the time and in pain so they tapped my knee and withdrew fluid to check for uric acid crystals(gout) and bacteria and they found neither. The ER doctor was perplexed and suggested I see a rhumetologist which I did a few days later. He ran a battery of blood and urine tests and could find nothing at all to indicate Rhumetoid arthritis and suggested that my problem must be mechanical and that I should see an orthopedic surgeon, what an idiot, one thing I know for sure is I don't need a surgeon. So I'm back to my GP and fortunantly at the moment I have no swelling but my wrist is now causing me significant pain and doesn't want to get better and thats where I stand now, waiting to see what my GP will do once he collects all of the lab results. I know for a fact it's caused by the morgellons but I'm not sure exactly why it is causing the swelling. I am trying to slowly bring my GP into accepting morgellons by encouraging him to visit the MRF website and communicate with the doctors there, hopefully he will.
