Calling All Previous Contributors!!!

[Kritters]

I KNOW YOU'RE CHECKING THINGS OUT (I HOPE, AT LEAST)...

This website has become a great central station for and from so many directions involving not only "morgellons" (can't wait until THAT'S re-named) but so many 'auto-immune' diseases PLUS that we can really make it big here if people don't get scared away for any reason.

It's a "one for all and all for one" situation here and we are GOOD!!!!

So, please, if you are reading, jump in and contribute. Understand that there are ALWAYS people who will benefit from your information.

Kritts,

I thought I had fibromyalgia when this "M" started kicking in. My joints hurt, I couldn't navigate stairs without having a rail to help me, and and I was ready for a wheel-chair.

Depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts too...

At the time I didn't realize the stinging/biting sensations and black specks/glitter had anything to do with the other physical and mental conditions I was going through.

I'm ready for another "name" for our condition too... That's why I put the brackets on "M".

Organic/natural/homeopathic medicine and organic food has helped my daughter and me get through this. Please read the ingredients/labeling on any food you are buying. If you can't pronounce or identify an ingredient, do not put it in your body!

Thanks kritts,

Itwl,

Kritters -

I was just looking at the early contributions on the "pictures" thread, and realized just how many very insightful comments/pictures/links were made back then.

It's disheartening to hardly recognize a name as far as being current contributors. What has happened to them? Have they given up? Are they better? Are they dead? I know recently someone was asking what happened to Greg Vigil (was it here?). I don't remember the response, but I SO wish those older contributors would weigh in once in a great while. I would help us who are in the first few years to see "what the future may bring".

I can understand why someone may want to put this horror as far behind them as possible (if they are better and able to do that). But I also know of others who are symptom-free for a long period of time and still contribute. JWF is one, and there is one of Ginger Savely's patients who has been symptom-free for 3 years and attended the Austin Conference in April. (Two very different paths to recovery, by the way).

I thank those who care enough about others that they continue to lend support.

Thanks for your input here Jonsi. I'm not sure you are responding to this thread, though. I'm reaching out to past members/researchers from this forum who have left for various reasons. One reaseon in specific I am referring to is that they felt uncomfortable posting here because of reactions from some of the other members. I actually am guilty one time of an instant negative reaction to someone who kept putting the same post under different threads. This is a different thing than when someone comes here with a theory or information they feel is pertinent to "Morgellons".

We are dealing with a multitude of things here and as far as I'm concerned, any one who brings information and is helping to research should be treated with respect and consideration. You never know what important pieces to the puzzle are out there and we shouldn't turn anyone away.

Totally agree, SS~

I also was going through some past threads/posts (so much information) and thought the same thing. I know two people right off the bat that left because they were given a hard time and they are brilliant researchers. I've asked both to come back but they would not.

Also, there are SO many threads on certain, very relevant topics concerning "morgellons" in so many different places from way back which contain really important information which seems to get lost by the wayside with the new posts. Too bad they can't be automatically archived under one thread, but I know that's nearly impossible. Many threads/posts were written before they knew about using key words so a search could be inclusive of their posts.

Oh well, nothing is perfect, I guess.
