Introduction and of course question

[motoed]

I'd like to introduce myself, I'm Eddie in south AR, age 47 suffering since age 19.
I have been suffering with MD or something for many years now and have just found the Morgellons information on the WEB.
I have had all the symptoms of MD at one time or another.
What have I gone through. Everything - itching/hair loss/vision degeneration/sores/scratching/depression and various other medical problems. Have been ridiculed, dismissed, given up several times only to keep up the fight.
I reached a point where I decided to live with it (after a stay for a mental evaluation) and do the best I could. Spent 9 years going to doctors, of course without help. The sores are now less common, I can go into public (not shopping at night or just staying home).
But, every day is still a nightmare to endure. The itching is now mostly in and around my mouth and face area, but it effects my whole body.
I also believe MD played a part in a colon rupture that was almost not reversable.
I am anxious to be part of the forum and gain from each of you and your experiences.
I've read Bubba's treatments, that's about it so far. Will spend much more time digging in through this website.
I pray for help everyday and that this condition goes away so I can enjoy a regular life.
If it's delusional then treat me, if it's not then fix me.
As I stated I'm in south Arkansas.
Can anyone tell me if there is somebody close willing to treat me? That will not call me crazy or dismiss me.
Again, Hello - to all the sufferers my prayers are for each of you to have this disappear from your life.
Eddie
This affliction should never be experienced by anyone. Not even a hated enemy.

Welcome, Eddie. Wow, I thought I had this for a long time (11 years) and you have been through alot. As the others have said, there is much support here and caring. I have found so much help on this board - it is absolutely the best. Actually I can't stand being away from it for one day, there are always new posts, ideas, or stories that others have shared during their fight with this. Some days are good, and some days are not so good for each of us. If you have a bad day, it is okay to express that here. If you have a good day, you can express that here. It is comforting to know that we are all on this journey together and not alone in our fight anymore.

I pray everyday for all of the morgellons sufferers and the researchers and doctors who are working on a cure for us. God Bless you!!!!!!!

You have these symptoms since around 26 years now? ~1980? Are you sure about that? I'm currently researching possible causes for this and your time of infection pre-dates all of them by far.....
