Differential Dx and Co-Morbid Conditions

[Seasprite]

What other conditions have people been diagnosed with? That could be related, or that ruled out Morgellons.

Example:

• Scabies
  
  • delusional parasitosis
  • schizophrenia of the skin
  
  
  What else goes along with Morgellons?
  
  Example:
  Lyme Disease
  Babesiosis, The Late Stages of Parasitc and Infectious Diseases, Chronic Fatigue syndrome, Fibromialgia, and Vasculitus.
  
  any others???

delusional parasitosis and schizophrenia of the skin for me

although after being forced to take hideous drugs for the latter that diagnosis was reversed

nothing physical

but depression and chronic fatigue fall under the same umbrella to my way of thinking

Does anyone else find these above "diseases" bizarre?

They arent diseases they're symptoms.

Its like calling a disease Irritation. "what have i got Dr"?
"I'm afraid its severe Irritation , I'll prescribe some phsychotropics, but I'd like you to see a phsychiatrist. You may have manic Irritation, chronic Irritation or even clinical Irritation"

"but i think i've got worms Dr. maybe I should take vermox"

"hoho, you're delusional too"
