Is anyone experiencing lung pain that does NOT feel like 'air hunger' accurately describes symptom?
I have heard conjecture that those affected by Morgellons will commonly have lung issues.
I know the thought of Morgellons make most people uncomfortable as it probably should. We are already suffering so it is almost unthinkable to imagine ourselves getting visibly worse.
If we avoid the topic completely, we will possibly end up ignoring a case of early treatment with some level of success at keeping the fibers from appearing which I believe to be true in my case.
Lyme and Morgellons are so very closely related yet it appears to have some very key differences in some symptoms experienced and not just the obvious one of fiber growth.
After reading Dr. Savely's book "Morgellons: The legitimization of a disease: A Factual Guide by the World's Leading Clinical Expert"
I feel it leaves a lot to be desired. It characterizes Morgellons disease by the fibers thus removing the possibility of early detection and leaves big gaps in the parasitic aspect of the disease.
I have learned more of early warning signs and progression of symptoms of this disease from all of you here at this forum than I ever could have from Savely's book so I hope the discourse on this subject remains willingly
open.
If I am in fact dealing with this disease the treatment steps I have taken have prevented rapid degeneration into the state where fibers manifest.
The feeling of mites has immensely dropped in the last couple days inclusive of today. This could be due to a number of recently administered drugs including Fluconazole, Doxy, and Ivermectin. I also applied Ivermectin lotion with D.E. mixed into it all over my body head to toe. I hit the skin with a 5 to 1 dilution of 3% hydrogen peroxide and water with a spray bottle from head to toe. I also reduced sugar intake from low to nearly zero in the last 36 hours.
The drop is so dramatic that if I didnt know myself better I would suspect DOP as a possibility also. The one thing that Morg patients often resort to which I have resorted to is picking. I prefer not to scratch. If I remain conscious of my actions I thus slap at the area that itches as I know scratching will only aid in making the infection worse.
However if I am suffering from DOP it manifests with physical presentations of red dots. It also resolves at times with Ivermectin treatment. We all can agree self diagnosis of DOP is not possible.
My health notes indicated that I have been dealing with this itch for longer than I have thought. I believe that I was miscalculating some of these skin rashes and itches to be yeast or fungus by the way they presented. A near 30 days Itraconazole use did not stop or even improve the condition which lent some clues.
I often wonder could Bartonella flare ups cause one to feel as if they have mites actively crawling on their scalp, face, and ears? Could it cause small scalp eruptions that handnt previously happened or does this sound more like a mite issue?
I notice when Bartonella is likely responsible for the flare up that the Bart streaks are often present after scratching the area if I do scratch. For me the streaks do not appear in advance of scratching. I feel as when its Bart it is more of a localized itch.
When I have experienced this large area of itching that occurs from time to time and scratched it doesnt result in the red streaks which linger.
Now that I am back on Fluconazole 400mg / Doxy 100mg bid and have been for about
10 days there should be some insight into what is causing this large area itch as well as the formication.
Tomorrow in accordance with Klinghardt protocol I will begin Albendazole. My intuition wants me to use Mebendazole first and Albendazole at a later date. Teva pharmaceutical provided no reason for discontinuing production of Mebendazole.
I thought it was no longer available in the US but according to Wikipedia "Mebendazole is available as a generic medication. The wholesale cost in the developing world is between 0.004 and 0.04 USD per dose. In the United States a single dose is about
884.00 USD as of 2016."
I am hopeful that with continued insight and input from the fine people at this forum I will get to the bottom of this and maybe save someone from some grief in the future should they experience the same symptoms.
Right now I feel as if I am caught in a strange sort of limbo somewhere between Lyme and Morgellons with few answers.
