found out two days ago...

hi there

this is actually my second post introducing myself, but i can't find my first post on the system.

i found out on sunday, two days ago, that i have morgellons. no doubt whatsoever.

i went on holiday to cyprus six weeks ago and was bitten very badly. at one time i had abotu 150 bites on my body, many of which haven't quite healed yet. i thought it was bed bugs at the time, although there were also these near invisible flying insects, and a feeling of pinprick stinging...

i washed everything when i got back, but i brought whatever it was with me. at first i looked into bed bugs, then fleas, and then started searching on the internet and was aware within a day that i had morgellons. thank god for the internet and all the resources and sharing available there.

right now i am aware of how morgellons is forcing us to take our power back from wherever we have given it away to... we have to find out what works and share with each other, rather than relying on the medical establishment who is too large and unwieldy and financially compromised to engage with this issue.

my biggest struggle so far has been that my trip to cyrpus was a spiritual pilgrimage, and was wonderful in many ways, but it also gave me morgellons. so i have had to process a lot of difficult feelings about feeling betrayed by the divine. just when my life was going really really well - i have a great new job that i love, i'm writing a book which i am really excited about (and scared) and felt like i was really turning a corner in my life, after many years of struggle...

so that's been difficult, although i am now more at peace after doing lots of EFT - emotional freedom technique.

i did some nutrition training many years ago, and we were always taught to focus on the soil rather than the seed. i'll do a bit post about this sometime. so my focus since realising that i had morgellons (formication, black specks, fibres, puncture marks/lesions) is detoxing my body. and actually, i feel like i'm already making some progress. the formication is still bad but the black specks/fibres seem to be decreasing and the puncture marks healing.

i am still in shock though. both about myself contracting this horrible disease, and also about what i am reading on this and other sites. i read a post this morning where someone tested 18 of her clients and found that 14 of them had fibres.

blessings and healing to you all.

i look forward to contributing to and receiving from this community. i'm not very internet-literate though, so please be patient with me if press the wrong button at times...

with love
sapphire

ps should i use a different name to my real one? are there any issues that i should consider about this. i could rejoin under a different name.

Glad you two can get together over there in UK. Very interesting messages from you both, very.

I think Steve had it right when he said:
