hello everyone. first day here. my face is so screwed up. i know its from pickng the fibers out, but they hurt and get infected if i dont pop them.. when i do pop, lots of blood, then a pop, and the fiber. and, instnat relief and no more blood or puss. my guys look like pink and white worms and some look white like a brine shrimp almost. my face is open wounds. deep. oh, what i want to say is when i pull the bugers out, if i don't get it the first time they go back into my skin. and if i pull with my fingers, it seems like they "melt" back into my skin. my fingers are sore and hard.i used to be pretty, i hate my face now. this started in feb for me. any advise would be appreciated. oh, i don't itch. just a lot of pain.

Hello dollyflower!

Welcome to the family!

You are going to find so much info on this site. Treatments vary so i hope you will find the one (or many) that will help you. I could spend a few hours telling you what has worked for me, but I have pretty much already done that here. Look into treatment steps on the main page, read others' posts too. It can seem overwhelming I know.

I don't know if the lesions and fiber symptoms are the first indications for you that you have Morgellons. Have you been feeling depressed, stressed out, low energy and joint pain too?

I feel that our food is KEY to better health. Stop eating deli foods, processed, long shelf-life prepackaged foods. Start incorporating organic food into your diet (milk, meat, free-range chicken, vegetables etc...).

I see a chiropractor that practices homeopathic medicine (no prescription antibiotics, I feel prescriptions prolong the effects even if there is a brief period of felling better while taking them). He uses tmn/kenesiology.

For the skin, start reading! hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, dawn oxy dish soap, ground cumin (spice section in grocery store), epsom salt baths, dsp cream & eco-vie ( Morgellons Treatment, Morgellon's Disease, Sovereign Silver, Citric Acid - Genes All Natural Products )

Don't experiment with lysol fungal cleaner or any other poisons! They don't work!!! I know cuz I tried this stuff before I knew what Morgellons was.

If you have stomach problems and "leaky gut" syndrome you might try probiotics (like orgaic kefir, sold in the milk section). To each his own, you might hate the stuff, but my daughter and I swear by it... Try not to eat any sugar.

Morgellons goes much deeper than the skin. I know it is in every cell of my body now, including my long hair and during menses.

I am fairly healthy now, although it is a daily regimen to stay this way.

So cruise around the site, learn, and please keep posting your questions and comments.

Out theories go from A to Z, but be assured we are all trying to figure this out.

In the white light,
~jonsi

Hi my face is real bad and I too was blessed in this life with a few good looks! Go to the picture section and look at me, perhaps it will make you feel a little better sister!
