Hi, I'm a 44 yr old RN but haven't worked since 2003 after getting sick after my c-section with my 2nd child. In 2006 I started a new med called lyric for my fibromyalgia. One of the bad reactions I had due to it was the bottom of my feet peeling and getting extremely red and hot and would get where i couldn't walk it was so painful. The peeling aand lesions had a repetitive look and seemed to cycle. these start out a smaall round red dot that seemed to open up from the inside out. if i picked at it insted of a normal looking scab its black in color and you can usually see white fiber running through it and you cannot pick it off and it will sometimes disappear right back in the foot. i cut one of the white fibers and as quick as i can put the scissors down the 2 ends have reconnected. i noticed furrows on the bottom of my feet all running the same direction and my foot had the feeling of something in it so i couldn't put pressure due to the pain. one day i took a cuticle nipper and made a little opening at the end of each furrow and something started to come out...i got a jeweler loupe that is 10x magnification and was shocked to see it looked like tiny snakes..i freaked !! i did go to the ER at the hospital where i worked and just stated i was concerned there were worms in the wounds because i saw tiny white thread size things...the dr. didn't even examine my feet and had me comitted to a mental institution for 2 weeks....since then i've been committed 3 more times because its in my records. my 23 yr marriage has ended and i've temporarily lost custody of my children. i do get the creepy crawly feeling and have them itch and come out of every opening but the lesions have remained to my feet except one on my hand. once i was sitting on the potty and felt something crawling on my scalp heading toward my face - i resisted the urge to scratch and waited - i'm thinking whatever it is has to be on my forehead getting close to my eyes so i grabbed a mirror and was stunned to see this poker straight hair among my curly hair and it was acting independently and appeared to be observing or surveiling...i yanked it but there are others as many hairs are not my own and my skin is just layers of fibers...sometimes i wonder how much of me is left. the joint and muscle pains are horrible and i take daily morphine...i'm being eaten alive....my periods have stopped and i'm very anemic. i have severe muscle twitching. my teeth are grey looking and going bad. thats all i can think of right now. i hope to compare symptoms. tanya
