Live Support Group

[skittter]

Hi Everyone - I just became a new member and posted the below blog in the treatment section but it really doesn't apply to any treatment except to say thanks for all the helpful information. I am posting it in a new topic re live local support groups hoping someone might read it and have some information..I have an interesting medical history that I wish to share in the intro section if that is acceptable. I will post that soon..thx again....skit..Hello All - I visited this site for the first time yesterday. (Sun 29 Oct) and found very helpful information. I have suffered from this malady for over 12 years and just recently put a name with the condition. I have been to numerous physicians and spent thousands of dollars only to be told that it is my nerves and I am a "face picker". Unlike some I only have leisons on my face. I have withdrawn from society. I feel like a leeper. This disease has consumed me. My desperation brought me to this site.
Thank you Bubba for educating me on some treatment options. I tried registering on the Morgellons.org website but it only returned errors.
My question is - Does anyone know of any live support groups in the US. I live in Georgia and one would think with the CDC near by, I would have a wealth on information at hand but have been unable to find anything. Information found on this website if very helpful but I wish to join or start a face to face support group. I believe it would be helpful to see the person with whom you are discussing your most personal feelings and concerns. The internet is a very useful tool but it lacks that personal feel. Thanks again Bubba and look forward to any information...skit

Welcome skittter Sure you are more than welcome to share some medical history. The more info the better for others to understand better.

Skitter, I would love to hear your medical history. Who knows, we may find a common symptom, exposure, etc. that sheds some light on this crazy stuff.
