Morgellons Sufferer Tells Her Story of TriumphUser Rating: / 8PoorBestWritten byConnieM Thursday, 22 February 2007Click  HEREto watch the video Hi! My name is Connie and I’m a victim, I believe, of a disease presently known asMorgellons. I have traced my symptoms back to as far as 10 years ago, based on theinformation I’ve receive from other people that have this infection. I am a 54 year oldfemale. I was born and raised in Nevada. I live, presently live, in Reno. And I have all myfamily here, I’m divorced and I have one adult daughter. And just to begin my explanationof my experience, I’ll tell you that there’s no one in my network at this point in time thatshown these symptoms visually or otherwise. About a year ago, at this time… it was inJanuary, I noticed some little green fibers that were starting to show up on my hands andarms. And I attributed it to disassembling an artificial Christmas tree that I had. I thoughtmaybe it was the remnants or remains of particles from the manufacturing of the tree.
Well the symptoms didn’t go away, and they actually got worse. I started noticingthat I was more depressed. I have had a problem with what is known as “brainfogging” for many years, but it seemed to escalate at that point of my life. I washaving a lot of joint pain... wondering if… why am I having arthritic pain in summermonths. I was suffering confusion, frustration… I was tired all the time. I slept agreat deal. I napped when I could. I just seemed like I couldn’t get enough rest.
 
About four months passed, maybe five and in May I was talking with a friend and Ishowed him my arms and said “Look at this!”In that four month period these lesions had began to surface where the fibers where…where, this fibrous material. Now granted, I could see these with the naked eye. I did notneed a microscope. Some of them were curly. Some of them where short. Some of themwere a little bit long,less than a quarter of an inch, but they were all green and they were all real. I, at that pointcollected some samples of them. Put them in a plastic vile.
 I took them to a dermatologist and she absolutely refused to acknowledge that my little “so to speak”, “matchbox  sample” was real. What she told me when she saw these lesions, and at that point theywere very bad and I had it up and down the tops of my arms, and I had them
 
at theback of my hands…
 
 she keep kind of nagging me and saying 
“Don’t pick at yourself anymore. Don’t pick at  your, your hands”.
 
Well I walked away angry from that particular encounter.
 
A fewmonths later while I was still fighting with this lesions, I went an saw an “Ear, Noseand Throat” doctor, because I was having a tremendous sinus problem where I wasblowing a lot of blood and strange mucus out of my nasal area. And interestinglyduring the… after the x-rays, on the a pre-op visit, he looked at me and he said we’regonna get in there and fix this deviated septum. And he said were gonna look at thisother tissue in there or this other matter. Well this other matter, I’m firmlyconvinced was Morgellons, and it was, you know, the disease building itself in areasin my body where it could breath and grow which were my sinuses, my throat. I hadchronic sore throats. And then a friend of mine… well, this friend showed me…Introduced me toNutraSilver… and at that point I was desperate. I
 
had no otherway to turn. I had been to dentists. I had dentists look at my teeth and tell me therewas something not right. I’ve had this derma… two dermatologists… I had gone to adermatologist ten years ago, and I was treated with massive doses of antihistamines.Three different kinds… because I had this severe itching.
When we discover whenthese symptoms probably began, at the onset I had these terrible attacks of itching on myarms and couldn’t wear any heavy clothing. I couldn’t wear any animal knits. Nothing… Imean I was miserable!
I went to my family doctor and we thought maybe I was goingthrough the “change of life”, which I wasn’t. They did a test for that. My bloodpressure was checked and it was determined that I had a high blood pressure.
I’mself diagnosed. There’s no doctor in this area that I can find that is willing to acknowledgethat I have this disease. So I… this is all my diagnosis… my opinion. It’s my body, I knowwhat’s going on with it. But anyway up until that point these symptoms just keep buildingand persisting. What brought them to the surfaced where the lesions were visual, I believewas stress.
