Don’t allow yourself to be concerned about us. Please, try and relax. and let the scientist at OSU and the CDC task force do their jobs. All your answers will be coming soon, now. Being a nurse, you ought to remember that it isn’t an MD’s job to act outside of their profession, and that it’s an unhealthy belief whenever patients firmly expect that they should. I’m sorry you’re not well.

I have been a nurse and as well a nurse educator for 40 years. I have this disorder and there is no mistake about it. I have been discredited and maligned by more physicians than I can count with not one with one iota of scientific inquiry in them. I have no strength left to defend myself agaisnt some here that feel the need to expend an inordinate amount of energy debunking. Why? What’s in it for you? If you are not afflicted then why bother? There are so many of us now that the numbers alone substantiate that something very “outside of the box” is going on here. One would think there would be a scientific medical community curious at the very least. This is not the case. I have no idea why, other than the influence of money (grant) and politics of medicine in America today; that includes the research community with deep pockets. There’s no money in finding out what’s ailing this population of sufferers….period. It is much easier to call us crazy and run the other way. Until a group of us drop dead on the steps of CDC/NIH my hunch is that any discovery will be an uphill battle….it takes money. I know what I see under the microscope and as well my tissues. I am sane, rational and afflicted.

Who are you debunkers anyway? What’s in it for you to expend this amount of energy in this matter?

I mean, we have marvelled over THEIR fascination, and how they think it’s proving something. Hehe, “not” that we did the same thing with a black light!! It’s very odd.

TC and I have marvelled over this too, Michael. All is not well with such people.

On a lighter note, all this black light talk reminds me of one of my favorite pieces of evidence that Morgellons is a new disease spread by fluorsecent fibers:

[under UV light] Your clothes can glow like galaxies of miniature stars are on them. ‘Dust’ on every flat surface in your home can be filled with them. [...]
[...] there were a lot of people in the 1970’s who owned UV lights of this type for illuminating posters and creating a party mood. No one from that era claims to remember this material.”

Whee! We sure have. Sorry, I was only repeating what the person had written about their experience upon showing their dermo their fiber-filled skin with the black light. They hadn’t been too thrilled with the doctor, like they were lying to them, so maybe they were seeing something that wasn’t even there.

Yes they may, and lack of UV can promote skin cancer. But I think we are getting a little off-topic here.

What’s the evidence that says there is a new disease that makes fibers emerge from your skin?

Tanning beds may be more harmful than the sun.

Smileykins, I understood you.

Michael, thanks for the explaination. I did not think a brief examination would hurt. My doc just says any amount of UV exposure should be avoided, even if it is just to examine the skin.
