Lesions-How many did not get yet?

[sojii]

Janice,
If you laugh, I'll find out where you live....

I can't swallow pills so I take gummy vitamins...
I told you not to laugh. And stop rolling your eyes. It works for me. One in the morning and a second when I come home from work because it gives me energy to get through the evening and I sleep better.

Also, a very pricey high-quality salmon oil capsule. No other supplements yet. At 58, I know myself pretty well. If I overwhelm myself with new things I have to take and do, I won't do any of it. I'm a very undisciplined person, always have been. If I don't start slow and gradually, I won't form habits, and habits are going to be necessary for the long haul with this.

Ok, I did giggle a little bit!! It is actualy very cute.
I have the same problem as you with pills and self dicipline.
I take supplements made from food and they are in vegatarian
capsules. They are so much easier to swallow and don't mess up the gut. You do have to keep them in the fridge once they are open.
Just start with a better multi-vitamin and add others slowly.
Do you have a doctor?

[sojii]

But I LIKE my gummies. I look forward to taking a gummy in the morning.
It's like a dog treat for people. Whoever looked forward to taking herbs in a capsule? It's the trade-off for no chocolate.

I do see your point. Really. And I'll get there. I've got the garlic caps, just have not been able to actually get them to my mouth.

I'm as bad about going to doctors as I am about pills. After my initial experience with a doctor when this first started, and everything I hear from
all of you guys, I've been very hesitant to expose myself to that. But I have great insurance; my employer very generously pays the entire premium. It doesn't cover alternative medicine practioners, per se, but the Plan offers discounted rates to practitioners on their list. I prefer DO's but have no idea how to go about finding one who'll be "Morg-friendly" other than by picking up the phone and asking directly. Got any suggestions for that?

And Janice? Thanks for your concern.

First thing, I don't ever talk to my doctor about morgellons, we talk about my immune system. His philosophy is treat the patient not the disease. These docs are different.
I have good insurance as well. The only thing they don't pay for are my vita-c IVs and my glutathione. All lab test and half of the docs bill is covered.

The best way I can come up with to find the right doctor is to get a referal from Genova labs. I would have to think any body that uses their lab is a progressive thinker. I will post that in just a minute. Be right back.

Chemical Remedies
Here are some chemical remedies for itchy scalp.

1 . If you have dry scalp that causes scalp itchiness, then use a hair lotion that contains 5 to 10% urea. This will ensure that your scalp will stay moist.

2 . Apply anti dandruff shampoo or anti yeast medication to cleanse your hair.

3 . If your scalp has Seborrheic dermatitis, apply mild steroid anti fungal medications and tar shampoos.

4 . If clinical diagnosis finds that you have scalp psoriasis, remove those thick scales and then apply a mixture of betamethasone dipropionate and calcipotriene.

5 . If you have contact dermatitis, keep away contact allergy. Mild to moderate contact dermatitis can be avoided if you apply antihistamine medications and steroid creams. If you have severe contact dermatitis, take steroids orally.

6 . If you have lice on your scalp which results in itchy scalp use anti louse medicines and shampoos once in a week.

7 . If you have ring worm infestation, antifungal medicines can be taken either applying locally or by consuming it orally. Use a shampoo that contains zinc pyrithione, ketoconazole, or selenium sulphide to wash your hair on alternate days. Do this for a duration of three months so that the infection does not reoccur.

8 . If you have Pityriasis Amiantacea, treat the foundation of it such as lichen simplex, seborrheic dermatitis, or psoriasis. This will give you relief from Pityriasis Amiantacea.

9 . If your scalp is infected by Lichen Planus, treat it with intralesional steroids or with exterior application of super potent steroids. Early reatment can only prevent the scarring of your scalp.

What is reetha?

And a caution: people with high blood pressure should be careful with peppermint; even applied topically or inhaled, it can raise blood pressure.

Sure smells good, though. Better than NEEM oil (ychhh...)

Janice Thanks for caring!
i do have a reg practioner and a rheumatoligist.my diagnosis has been chronic celluitis alot in my eyes and face. i was hospitalized for a week due to being extremely infected in the danger zone in my face they treated me with intravenous vancomyacin during my stay and then ten days at the outpatient wth four hour intervals a day wth the vanco. heres the thing it never fully cleared and within that month i went totally blind it lasted for a week.very scary. i've been seeing the same dr for many years he listens to me when i ramble about the morgellons i've tried to explain it to him.and though i feel he believes me i think he doesn't know what to do. i'm alot better now but i have no get up and go!
Then i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and degenerative arthritis in my neck.
i believe its all one tied together.i've always wanted to take an anti-parasitic and still do! i feel like i would be beating a dead horse seeing how my whole family has this and if it wasn't done in a group effort it would be a waste of money and time.don't ya think?
Thank You Janice

[Janice]

Wow, you have allot going on!
When I go to the doc for my vit-c IVs there is a woman that comes in with fibromyalga that gets a glutathione IV. She was sent there by a a "regular" doc. She said the IV makes her feel so much better.

I would realy be careful taking anti-parasites in your case.

Have you ever thought (taking a list of your meds with) of going to a holistic doc? I have found it to be a very enlightning experience. Janice

Sojii, I think everyone should do a 3 month colon/parasite cleanse. It's the first thing I did when I discovered I had M. I felt so much better,and think it's why I have no other symptoms except lesions on my face with the expected various debris. Google DrNatura. It's All That the testimonies say it is. And now they make liquid antiparasite drops. So you would have to drink a glass of fiber( tastes Good in apple juice, take the drops and drink a cup of senna tea at night.I posted about this stuff many times. If you can't afford this kit product you could put together your own by buying a phyium drink product,senna tea and some other liquid antiparasite. The idea of this program is to pull the mucus out with the phylim, kill the parasites with the antiparasitic and flush them out with the senna tea. Can't say enough good about it ! I'm due to do it again soon. This time with the Toxin Out Kit.
I have been procrastinating about it. I don't know why
