Hi, Violet here, have suspected i have "morgellons" for about a year now. I first found out about it when i contacted what i thought was scabies from a roommate, although doctors did not seem to necessarily seem to agree that's what it was. An internet search for "scabies" yielded a number of results for something called morgellons. Curious, I read farther (sometimes wish i hadn't. ).
Although at this point, i had never found a fiber on me, there had been one on my roommate...at the time, never having heard of morgellons, i dismissed it as nothing, but after reading about it, it all began to make sense. (Well, as much sense as this thing can make...)
Since then, in addition to the severe itching and strange bumps, I've had severe fatigue and confusion, as well as floaters in my vision. I have used a peel off facial mask which revealed what I believe to be fibers, although they have not started coming out of my skin on their own yet.
The itching is reduced at the present, although the fatigue and confusion seem to get worse and worse. I'm only in my early twenties, and I'm very scared I'm going to lose the ability to hold a job if this continues to get worse.
I have now moved back with my parents, and they have not developed any symptoms. My dermatologist does not believe in Morgellons, and prescribed me Orap. (At the time, I didn't know mentioning the word "morgellons" was a recipe for being evaluated as delusional.)
