A horrible experience I need major help for. Take a ride with me and feel.

[Knight~Ryder]

Finally I find a website where I can vent and ask for help!

I am a 24 year old male who lives in Canada. I am a salesman who works in a very busy mall and I work very long hours.



My story that I am about to tell you is very real, and very tough to deal with, though I push myself every single day to get out of the house and live a somewhat normal life like everyone else. I may look normal, and try to act normal, but what I feel inside tells otherwise. Thank goodness I have found these sites to let me know I am not alone. Well here it goes.

The problems I am having are little lesions that I get on my skin. Mostly around my elbows and knees, some thigh. Sometimes I will wake up and scratch and realize that there is blood and I have 1 pin prick or sometimes even 2 pin pricks side by side. It is extremely itchy, sometimes for days, but they always go away. Sometimes I will have a few bites it seems side by side or small red lines, which is blood I presume. Some bites look a little glossy right after I have been bitten. I usually get the pricks when I sit on my couch and sometimes I get them when I sleep in my bed. Mostly on my couch, which I keep covered with blankets because I thought that would help.

My girlfriend experienced it as well when she came over. She would be itching herself and have some small tiny tiny red bumps. The funny thing is my room mate that lives with me has never experienced anything, even while laying on the couch? I sometimes go to my girlfriends house to find relief to no avail. I may find a little bit more relief because I don't believe they are in her house because she hardly ever gets bitten or feels the same symptoms as I do, however I still find myself itchy. I don't get as many bites when I am there, but it happens on occasion.

Anyways, when I am walking or sitting anywhere else, every once in a while I get Sharp, painful tinges in my tissue or skin it feels. I always thought it might be a bite, but I never see anything there. I just feel it from time to time and I grab that place where I get the sharp poke and scratch it. I guess I can describe what they look like.

Open itchy lesions on the skin, (from tiny holes to many millimeters in length) which do heal after a while.

Now I don't get to many. It happens once in awhile and sometimes I go without many for a time. Sometimes I get no red bumps but I get the sharp pokes and jabs. I thought maybe it was my clothing. It has been over 2 years now, and it still happens. I never see any bugs but I get these marks. One time I woke bleeding and I saw two pin point bites side by side and that was the biggest bite mark I had ever. The marks just usually scab over and go away. But they are extremely itchy until they are completely gone?

I have thought of everything, I bought a new bed, I raised it off of the floor, I used borax to clean my floors. Since my apartment is usually dusty I thought they were some sort of mites and that I was really allergic to them and my room mate wasn't, which led me to search for a cure of some sort?

I did think that maybe it was from the couch that I got from a show home that was stored away in a storage room that I was able to get?

So I am very confused as to what this is? Since it is so random when the bites occur. I'm not sure if they are in my house, or living on or in me, because my room mate doesn't feel a thing?

Maybe they were from the guinea pigs we had at one point, but not anymore, or maybe they were from these fuzzy blankets I use to sell at the mall. I remember selling these blankets and then I started receiving the bites. (they were shipped from China by the way)

I have just ordered Kleen Free which claims that this stuff can work against certain mites. I also have ordered Tinnitus, stress, and immune boosters from http://www.alphatinnitusformulas.com/ for the ringing in my ears that I have had for the last 5 years. I am also debating on weather to try nutrasilver or not. I have talked to russel himself and I feel that it can't hurt to try.

I have registered with www.dizzytimes.com even before I knew anything about what my bites were, and I was able to finally get to an audiologist to do a 5 hour testing to see why I have this dizzyness, and spaced out vibrations in my head, and why I am tired almost every day all day no matter how much sleep I got. Well I did all the testing just the other day and everything was normal. So all my symptoms don't have anything to do with my middle ear.

So all this leaves me wondering how I can figure out what's going on.
I have no idea if I have morgellons as I do not see any fibers, but my symptoms state otherwise.

Even as I type to you right now I feel so dizzy and tired, and spaced out beyond belief. If I didn't already know my job inside and out I am not sure I could function properly, and the worst thing about it is, no one can see or understand what I am going through. Sure they can see the bites, but they never see the other symptoms and I can not share with anyone the horrible state I am in and going through.

If anyone has any answers, questions, solutions, advice, tips, on my story please post back so I know how to begin handling this.

I am only 24 and I want to regain my life back to the way it was over 2 years ago.

Hi Knight Ryder, I've hears this story before about the bites being together and your symptoms. Some insects like the Chego Flea will have the 2 bite marks (male and female) but I don't think it's the Chego or pests like the bird and rat mite. The best place to look and this is where I've heard this is www.safe2use.com/scabiesboard. CLICK "search for posting" then type in "bites together". You'll see a post "TO JS". Mary (poster name) says " you mentioned the 2 red marks together , thats what I have ". JS has many posts there and has said she has seen the bugs on the INDEX page there under a microscope. On the INDEX page this is called "pictures of little black dots found on skin". Many people have found this bug and ID with a microscope. If this is it, or not, a small pocket microscope 30x is very inexpensive $20 and may help find the culprit. good luck WTG

First off, welcome to the forum, Knight~Ryder. You came to the right place for help.

I certainly feel your pain and I am so sorry for what you are going through. I know that you will find tremendous help here. I admit, it is very confusing and discouraging not to know exactly what you are dealing with. I know, because I'm experiencing the same. I've been suffering from a mysterious skin condition for 18 months now. None of us here can tell you exactly what you have, but we can hopefully lead you in the right direction for help and healing.

How much do you know about Morgellons? There's a ton of information on this site regarding Morgellons. Check out the treatment steps at:
http://www.morgellons-disease-resear...php?topic=30.0

Many of us with similar symptoms as you described are finding much relief from these steps. I for one, don't know exactly what I'm dealing with, but these treatment steps have helped me tremendously. I am feeling so much better than when I first arrived at this forum in December.

Have you considered that you may be dealing with Lyme's disease as well? William Harvey, M.D., Medical Director of the Morgellons Research Foundation says that "94% of Patients with Morgellons have Lyme disease."

Take heart. All is not hopeless. You can get your life back. There are doctors who can help you. I'm sure "bubba" will be along to add her wisdom. She is a tremendous resource, and will be able to find you the help you need.

Yes, Welcome to the site, Knight-Ryder. There have been number of morgellons sufferers who have many of the same symptoms as you do. Some of us have lesions, some don't. The treatment steps site linnysue has posted has been extremely helpful to many here. And as linnysue has stated, Bubba is a wealth of helpful information.

This is a wonderful place to come for support, there are many here who are caring - we are all in this together.

Okay, then keep this in mind.

Ever since I have been getting the bite marks, I have had 24/7 brain fog, pressure in my head, also what feels like vibrations. It never goes away. I feel like I am a huge mess, and I never feel normal. Bright white lights seem to bother me now. I am tired every single day no matter how much or little sleep I get. You can see the tiredness on my face every morning with my eyes half shut. It takes hours for me to get into my day.

Like I said I have never seen any fibers, but it seems like all the symptoms are there. The worst being my "out of this world" experience I always feel.

Thank you guys for the replies so far.

But the only bites I get are the 1 pin prick or 2 side by side. I don't get any other form of bite or marks or rash.

Let me go back a little bit.
I used to work in a mall where I was selling those fuzzy blankets with the pictures on them. I was fine for awhile and then the boss decided to change suppliers. When the new shipment arrived, that's when the bites seemed to have started. I was putting them away and I noticed and I felt a sting and I looked and there was a red mark there.

Now I don't 100% know if it was from the blankets, or from 2 couches I received from a show home that was in storage for awhile?

I am reading up on Lyme disease, but this doesn't seem to fit me as much?

[Knight~Ryder]

Thank you

I have tested positive (I pretty much knew I would)

In your mind is it worth it to get the package #2, or is this just another scam?

[curious]

The people of this forum are very supportive and I've found the advice and treatments regimen also the best help in coping with this.

BTW: Most of the bites I have had are like yours, side by side.

[Knight~Ryder]

Okay so I have a few options.

I am wondering if I should see my Aunty at her work place. I guess there is a woman at her work that tests and looks at blood work. They sell herbal supplements, but the woman works with patients and does muscle testing and all sorts of other stuff. I am thinking of making an appointment, because maybe she can see something I don't. I was told to bring in a pillow so that can be examined as well.

or

I could go ahead with step number 2 on this site

or

I could begin all these treatments, which I really don't have the time for as I work almost 7 days a week 11 hours a day (though I know my ealth is more important) the thing is I feel that this is more of an internal then external thing as my internal symptoms show WAY more then my external, physical symptoms. The craziness in my head far outweigh anything I have ever had in my life.

Options, options, options,

At least my KLEEN FREE (http://naturalginesis.com/id33.htm) (maybe some of you know what that is) is on the way as well as my tinnitus medicine.
