and finally the most common thing reported and seen by those suffering from this is the fibers seen outside the body. One can put fresh sparkling clean sheets on their bed, shower and scrub fanatically, go from shower to bed, then wake up to find these structures in bed with them. I am not kidding when I say these were not in the bed when you got in it. http://www.crossinglines.net/pic_of_moving_fuzz.jpg
The video compiled by a scientist in Europe can be viewed by following the links at http://www.crossinglines.net. If you are a scientist or research professional, please share your comments concerning what you are seeing in this, as I have said, only the macroscopic images mean anything to me and would love some qualified remarks concerning the microscopic images.

From what I understand the reasons for the lack of acknowledgement from the medical community is a political as can be. Once the uninfected general public becomes aware of the release of this thing into public space, reactions may become unpredictable. Also, the economic problems which will be sure to follow. Everything these days is genomic/ proteomic research related—from the paint on the door to the food on your plate. In fact, several hundred billion a year in the US alone. Also it appears that even though this seems to be a accidental release, this accident is being “nurtured” by big pharm with obvious goal of the need for lifelong suppressive therapy.

The video’s creators have also stated that this element is differentiating. Meaning it is the cause of several seemingly unrelated diseases. If a single pathogen is worth a billion dollars to the medical industry then this pathogen is worth 10’s of billions. This bug is a money maker and we are all at the mercy of the medical industry. The key word to concentrate on here is INDUSTRY. All industry is profit orientated and this should scare the bejeebbers out of you. Hence the lack of motivation to fund research into this disorder. It will without doubt prove that these industries focus primarily on the effects of disease and not the cause of them. To cure is not profitable, but to treat over and over again is. Look at the treatments HIV patients must take for life in order to stay alive.

A pathogen represents billions and to take a cause of disease away is a disaster for many.

More to follow, my damn fingers hurt and I stink at typing.

1. blaming people for their problems or

2. attributing them to a biological disease

There’s another option. People have difficulties when their circumstances, or some combination of who they are and their experiences, trigger emotional pain or confusion severe enough to surpass their ability to cope.

It happens because the world is not ideal, and we, as humans, are not perfectly engineered for our environments.

Sometimes people make mistakes, behave stupidly, or act out of malice, and sometimes physical conditions affect thoughts and emotions, but in many cases, people have only a certain level of ability to survive emotionally, and experiences test and break that ability.

That’s when one needs help; not necessarily medicine or confinement, but empathy, compassion, and practical assistance meeting needs and thinking effectively.

I’ve read so much from some morgie people, citing certain things that take place while they’re at their doctors’ which really sound like nothing out of the ordinary.

It might be nice, “in a perfect world”, but I’m not sure that everyone goes to doctors with the expectancy of them showing sympathy, or having any physical contact during an office visit.

It seems that a psychologist would be more suitable to fill the expectations, of some, that aren’t met through other doctors, and that they could work together in the treatment of the patient. I don’t think they prescribe pills like psychiatrists.

It’s just that I feel strongly, that while “morgellons disease” is many things, to many people, this particular behavior is suspect as being involved, among a wide range of behavioral disorders that look as though they’ve gone undiagnosed and untreated.

I’d like to also be sure to add that there are morgie victims, who don’t express themselves, over the internet, as sounding like they have too much more going on other than what they say they do.

I’m not “diagnosing” over the web, and I “am not” discounting, whatsoever, that these people all have physical problems with their health.

All that any of us can possibly “know”, unless we have “a morgellons victim” in our personal lives, however, is what the “victims” reveal to us, here, on the internet.

Emotional-behavioral disorders are “seemingly” undeniably present as a very significant feature of this “disease”. Among others, I think borderline personality disorder could be present in some, and I’ll explain what leads me into thinking this.

In borderline personalities, swinging between adult-like and child-like behavior is uncontrollable. Adult behavior of the borderline crumbles suddenly and without apparent provocation into childish anger or tears.

Having a sensitive adult disintegrate into a raging, “abandoned” or rejecting child is quite unnerving. The flip-flop emotions of a borderline are where the personality disorder got its name: the borderline between childhood and adulthood, good and bad, all or nothing.

What is observed in the vast changes in mood, attitude and behaviour of borderline personalities is the shifting between the here and now and the past.

The past being totally unsafe and very frightening to re-live it brings out very regressed child-like and at times, violent raging behaviour in borderlines.

This is not to say that they are evil. They are not evil. They have been deeply wounded and left to emotionally fend for themselves in stages of development that require parenting and caretaking.

Somehow the difference in behaviour and presentation is some kind of experiment or something merely that is being inflicted on those around the borderline, almost as if just for the heck of it.

Borderline behaviour in all of its complexity stems from very deep and very real intrapsychic pain.

While this pain is the kind of pain that interferes with identity it is not about two distinct aspects of soul in competition with each other.

It is not about two souls engaging in on-going and inherent conflict with each other. It is about the borderline trying to integrate, in the big picture, the here and now with their past. Such behaviour is trauma based with its roots in protective dissociation.

Each of us, borderline or not, has inherently good and bad within him/herself. Life is not lived in black and white and this is the struggle for most borderlines, trying to find balance, the center, the grey that mixes the reality of both the black and the white.

To refer to borderlines or their behaviour in this black and white way is a disservice and unproductive for those around the borderline and for the borderline, as well.

Whether or not you think that the person with this disorder, is acting from a base of purely good or purely bad, or evil is a gross over-simplification of what is actually going on.

Rather than two aspects of self at war or in competition with each other borderlines are at war with a self that they do not yet know. The battle is between the false self and the authentic self. Neither aspect of self is all good or all bad.

There is nothing evil about having a personality disorder. If someone is unable to accept personal responsibility for him/herself and his/her behaviour then you have to ask yourself what you are doing allowing them to be in your life.

If you are not happy with a relationship or you are borderline and not happy with your life rather than try to simplify things in a derogatory manner it is much more helpful for all concerned if you realize what is truly going on for the borderline inside.

The reality that most borderlines are in a great deal of pain is not an excuse for poor or inappropriate behaviour. But, until the conflicts that each borderline must resolve in order to reclaim his/her life is dealt with, they will continue with the behaviors.

The persecutory misconceptions of morgie people (which I addressed in some other comments…”not diagnoses”, but just “my views”, as usual), and the associated “coming un-done” of some, (maybe existing in more than those who display it online), appears to be very suspsect of BPD.

I say this, also, because if morgie people have such a firm belief…in other words, if they have “a conviction” that they have such a thing as “morgellons disease”…

Well, we all know what a conviction is…

And when a person has a conviction — come hell or high water — we all know…

Nothing that anyone else says, or does, causes you to feel even the least bit threatened.

I’m wondering …when did you both
have your sudden enlightenment?

Does it not worry you that you
went from one unquestionable belief
then swung to another which just
happens to be the complete
opposite?

It’s quite obvious you are both
delusional but my biggest worry is
whether you can survive the next
fall when you realize that you
are both horribly wrong.

I have ‘suffered’ from chronic hives for *years*, although “suffered” is a bit dramatic – more like “been annoyed”. I assume an allergy, but have never identified a specific cause, it’s just one of those unexplained things. Chronic, unexplained hives are not terribly uncommon, there are loads of people like me.

Now, over the last couple of weeks, “Morgellons” has gotten widespread press. I happened to be having an attack of hives when my local TV station ran the lead-in for their story. Once I’d seen the report, clearly I did not have Morgellons, but I did Google it up out of curiousity. Only *ONE* site I visited that evening – Morgellonswatch – did NOT suggest that my symptoms could be this horrible new plague.

I can EASILY see how a more suggestible person, with chronic unexplained itching and rashes, sitting in front of her PC that evening and reading all those ‘personal accounts’ of Morgellons, could begin to wonder if maybe that’s what her problem is. I can EASILY imagine that person picking up a magnifying glass and finding “fibers” on her skin. In other words, I can EASILY see how a simple case of chronic hives can turn into Morgellons.

Whether or not Morgellons truly exists, there MUST be counter-point information out there and available. If Morgellons is real, then that ‘community’ does not benefit by having thousands of people with perfectly common conditions self-diagnosing themselves as “Morgies”. And certainly no one with common hives should be encouraged to go digging for fibers and critters in their skin.

I just took a Benadryl and went back to bed that evening. But I *could* have stayed up the rest of the night convincing myself I had a wicked new parasite, and I imagine more than a few people did. If the “Morgies” don’t like the DOP label, then it is in their best interests to discourage people like me from presenting with DOP – and that’s what it would have been.

And as for everyone who suddenly began to itch while watching the local news, it was surely in their best interests to find a counter-argument like the one on this blog, take a Benadryl, and go back to sleep.
