		<description>Where did the rest of my post go? Oh, well. 1. Nanotechnology 2. Voices 3. Mum got off topic. 4. Mum didn&#039;t show her emotion at the doctor&#039;s office. 5. Telling mum to get a grip.

Is this a multiple choice test?</description>

		<description>Jeezelouise, failing to see any relevance to the topic at hand means you aren&#039;t back on topic. No, wait. It means you are back on topic, if you don&#039;t understand it. No, that&#039;s not right, either. Well, one thing we can be sure of, is that we don&#039;t know what the food for thought is when we&#039;re back on the topic at hand, but it depends which topic we&#039;re on.  No, well, since we don&#039;t understand it, we&#039;re just fine. Yeah, I think that&#039;s it.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;All food for thought.

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Food for thought about ... what?

Perhaps it&#039;s just me, but I completely fail to see any relevance to the topic at hand.</description>

		<description>Typos, sorry: &quot;Autoimmune diseases&quot;, not &quot;autoimmunity&quot;.  I got a little excited when what Dana is obviously thinking dawned on me. Maybe she can find the fountain of youth, too, in her quest of perfect health. I think trying to get grounded in reality by working with doctors, and accepting limitations might be a better idea for people. It&#039;s not helping anyone to think they are way ahead of science.</description>

		<description>OMG, after trying to wrap my head around it, it appears that Dana thinks I have &quot;morgellons disease&quot;. It seems she chose to not separate my prior health conditions, that I purposefully mentioned to illustrate were-in-no-way-connected-to-that-two-month-bout-with-DOP
almost five years ago. I, of course, never considered them to be connected.

I know how most morgie people think, as far as ignoring their prior diagnoses, SO I CLEARLY STATED that was my reason for having mentioned my health conditions, and, that, of course, they remain.

That is how autoimmunity, WHICH ARE INHERITED GENETIC MUTATIONS FROM OUR FAMILIES, and work related spinal cord injuries are.  Mercy sakes, alive, Dana.</description>

		<description>Hello Dana,

I think you need to read our blog again, since you obviously didn&#039;t comprehend it the first time. Smileykins didn&#039;t say that she thought that her experience was normal, and, of course, parts of what she experienced involved hallucinations. She suffered from heat exhaustion, urinary blockage and infection, high fever, dehydration and malnutrition, and a tremendous amount of pain. Can you imagine how painful it is to lose most of your epidermis? And, by the way, she did go to the emergency room two times.

Morgellons symptoms are not caused by a single disease or disorder. People who think they have morgellons actually suffer from a very wide variety of physical and mental disorders. Their diagnoses from their doctors confirm this. Their diagnoses do indicate that they share at least one psychiatric disorder, and that is delusions of parasitosis. You said that you didn&#039;t think that Morgellons is caused by a parasite, then you contradicted yourself by saying that you thought it was caused by a mutated Sarcoidosis pathogen. Sarcoidosis doesn&#039;t have a pathogen. It&#039;s a genetic disorder. Sarcoidosis, it isn&#039;t a new disease. Surely you don&#039;t think we havn&#039;t studied Sarcoidosis, or that we&#039;re unaware of the fact that Sarcoidosis is the disease that some of the Morgies are suffering from.

I&#039;m glad you&#039;re smart enough to know you need to be drinking large quantities of water. Are you also smart enough to understand that your doctor has more medical knowledge than you do? Do you believe his diagnoses? Do you take the medicine he prescribes? You already said that you are a Morgie. Did your doctor diagnose you with Morgellons? I think not. I think you are confusing obsessive/compulsive disorder with DOP. You make it obvious that you are delusional, whether or not you also have an obsessive/compulsive nature. You do fit the profile of DOP, but you&#039;re gonna believe what you choose to believe.

You think you would be well if had what Smileykins had. It&#039;s more likely that you would be dead. And in my case, mersoneth addiction, it&#039;s more likely that you would continue to live in your delusions until the drugs killed you. Neither of us claimed that any other Morgies had the same problem we did. We fully understand that Morgies are suffering from a wide variety of disorders. Our testimonials were not meant to help everyone. It was our hope, and still is, that it will help someone. You said that we are costing you time and credibility. In my opinion you don&#039;t have and credibility to begin with. You may mean well, but you&#039;re delusional. Yes, Dana, we understand Morgellons. We know what it is, and we know what it isn&#039;t. We have devoted years of time to it&#039;s research. We can assure you, Morgellons is a lie!!

		<description>Did someone mention Nanotechnology?

Must have been the voices, anyway what I wanted to mention is my Grandma.

I couldn&#039;t believe the last time a saw her, a couple of weeks ago, I asked her if she had had a face lift!  I said to my mum yesterday, &quot;Grandma looks like she has had silicon skin pumped into her, and cheek bones inserted!&quot; Mum laughed and said; &quot;Yeah I know&quot;!  My god my Grandman turns 91 next month.

It was the phone call later on from my mum (2nd for the day), when she lost the plot with me.  I said to her; &quot;if you are going to yell and scream and cry at me down the phone, why don&#039;t YOU carry on like that in front of the doctor, which is YOUR doctor also, and YOU think she is so wonderful&quot;!  Then I told her to get a grip on herself, and pull herself together.

All food for thought.</description>
