Not what you can see!

[dizzy dame]

The things that I can not see are driving me mad, well, sort of. I wonder how many of you on here have something that eats the paint and coloring off of furniture, etc?? We never see a bug or anything to explain how this happens.

When they stated on my antique dining room suite that was too much. I just vacuumed in there and noticed several places on the table and chairs. GRRRRR! It is back to spraying and fighting the good fight. That means daily cleaning and spraying with vinegar, or tweet or whatever I think will help!

I have tried to convince my husband that somthing is eating the wood in our house, but you know what he says? Something bumped it! I want him to show me what climbed up the wall and bumped the facing on the door at ceiling level almost, or some ot the other thins that are over my head. MEN!

I should have put this on the rant board huh? DD

I had mostly antiques before I got rid of it all in terror of what might be chewing on me. I never saw the kind of damage you describe. I don't know if morgellons-related critters can do that. However, I just looked around on the internet for you and there are some insects other than termites that will do superficial damage to wood, including furniture. Check this out:

I have bugs too.. but mine are Collembola, I have seen them briefly in the direct sunlight. I am getting them under control and I am darn near successful.
I have aged fifteen years in the last three trying to get my life back, but I intend to succeed. Failure has never been an option ( unless you count the part where I was suicidal for a bit... I have a child) that made me fight harder plus the fact that my hubby is adorable and we are intertwined.

There is relief.. it's tough and takes hard work.

Half Moon tonight and I have only had tingles sporadically today.

My pet does not make it easier, but she's getting better too.

We are all different and there is a way out.

I do not believe in any "cure", I doubt we will get to that stage in my lifetime.


There is hope but if you post it you'll be accused of "selling".

God Bless and Good Luck.

Sojii, thank you for doing the search. I had been to those sites and have suspected powder beetles. We don't see anything though, not even the fine dust they say you should see. Who knows what might come along with this morgs stuff?

Lamb, I have been a member here for a couple of years and have treated my symptoms for all that time. I would say things are about 95% better now than they were. You are right about being cautious about telling the newbies what has worked for you. It seems that any time someone new comes on and makes the mistake of saying they have found something that seems to be helping them, that sets off an attack by some. It shouldn't, cause haven't we all tried everything and want to pass on anything helpful? I guess the newbies should say that they are looking for something to help them instead. If I were new and got attacked like some of what I have read, I would not trust anyone on this site to help me, and that is a bigger shame. People are looking for answers, not a slap in the face.

See you all later. DD

well no one here scares me. I,ll say it again. Salt bath, 1 to ten lbs a day twenty minutes to three hour soak for three months (work it up) longer even its healthy forever..Garlic pills 1000 mg four times a day for three months. Thymus pills (health food store) twice a day for three months. I still live in a morgellons enviroment and have not any one symptom now for 6 months now. The only thing cheaper and more certian is a bullet. I don,t recomend the last one. Could be fatal.

You might try doing a search about some of these "newbies" or what they discuss as "helping" them (often quite expensive). You might be surprised at what you might find out about them. This last discussion about "free" is anything but "free". I was amazed to see how many websites the person who was offering "free" consults has. It is not as innocent on this forum lately as you might think. There are many "newbies" joining just to introduce products here and if you think otherwise then you will have the wool pulled over your eyes.

We used to have people on this forum who did join to find support and share ordinary "help", but ever since one particular herbal company was discussed on this forum by someone who was an attacker herself (one who swore at members too) it has been open season for sellers to flock to MDR. The word is obviously out.

newbie is a word I dislike (think we all do). For a person to get this far (with accemptence of morgs)they will have gone through many other boards and dealt through other symptoms of distraught to arrange themselves to be here. Its only newbie if they just came here and posted, (new to us) not the diease they have, to them it may be new, but not necessarily to us. To help and listen is our part now. This board is a new beginning to many who have it. It was for me a year and a half ago when I first joined. It still is when I,m not an a_-H--e.

Jim, I don't really think the people I am discussing are "newbies" in the traditional sense of that term. The fact is that there are many "newbies" who join MDR only to sell products. So why worry about calling them "newbies" when they present themselves as that and then they quickly reveal why they are REALLY on MDR. In other words they reveal their true agenda which is to sell. Many of them probably do not even have Morgellons. There are always people ready to take advantage of those who are sick by telling them that xyz made them better when they are here only to put money in their pockets and take it out of the pockets of those who are sick. As you have pointed out pure pool salt will do just as well as much of what is being touted. It is very inexpensive. It is also widely available in many stores.

Whats a "traditional sense of a newbie" (your words)? I can tell you what a traditional sense of a JimDoe is. It,s my real name. I do not fall behind names of code or color like tcmpt I just don,t, call it guts or something.Sounds more like a term you made up to fit this agenda of a newbie you have against them (no I do not beleive that)you,re to solid for that(I do mean that).You even further try to insult me me with this "xyz" barf (highlighted, see it).Well you wrote it.Yes I wrote many and many times about pool salt and not one mention of newbies or oldies using it.All I barfed at was the use of the word newbie, We all were at one time. If you want to cruise the sellers then have enough balls to call them that (Sellers) not newbies.Ok."Sellers will be here always", Well we just have to live with that.Newbies just so. Got it now? Tcmpt?

[tcmgpt13]

Well, I used to call them sellers Jim, but that upset people here too. So what do you propose Jim? Snake oil salesmen? Rip off artists? Hm, that one has a nice ring. They present themselves here as "newbies" so that's why I refer to them in that manner when they are indeed new to MDR. Does that makes sense to you JimDoe? Got it now? And why would you think I used the term "xyz" to insult you? It was used to stand in the stead of a product name, used in a general sense to indicate it could be any product and not a particular product. As for using your real name on the internet, well, good for you. I choose not to and that's good for me and others here as well.
