EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT ARTICLE!
It may take more than one sitting to read and absorb this amazing article, but it is worth the time!
And it's about time Morgellons patients were seen as having a true illness so it can be taken seriously and be addressed. Bless their hearts they've suffered so much.
And now that its been proven without a shadow of a doubt to be a physical manifestation, not a "delusion" as some jerks claim....
Let's go, go, go Morgellons patients. We are here to help you keep rocking and rolling!
We love you and will continue to support you!

History of Morgellons disease: from delusion to definition

Interesting that they've got it as overproduction of keratin and collagen fibers. Last I heard, they thought it was due to an agribacterium acting like a plant in our bodies and putting out fibers!

I've said this before, but I've come to the conclusion that Morgellons is just Lyme disease. It is a dermic symptom of Lyme. Its not an alien conspiracy, its not chemtrails. Its just Lyme. Every time I treat my Lyme, the Morgellons fades away.

If you or anyone you know suffers from Morgellon's disease (MD), then this book would be a wonderful gift because it answers questions about MD that you never even thought to ask.
It is also a roadmap for the best antibiotic combinations which you can share with your Lyme-friendly doctor so that you won't have to travel elsewhere to see a Lyme specialist.
It is very well written, easy and entertaining to read with lots of white space so it doesn't feel overwhelming to read. It's one of my three top favorite books on Lyme disease of all time, right up there with the book by Horowitz, "How Can I Get Better?"

I fixed the broken hyperlink in my previous message (above). Because it was first posted several hours ago, this edit deserves its own separate message in order to be sure that persons who saw the original, incorrect version of that hyperlink will not miss seeing the correction.
I forgot to mention that the author, Dr. Ginger Savely, ANP, PhD, is the clinician who has treated the most Morgellon's patients of any LLMD. She is the "go to" authority on MD, and this is the "go to" textbook on MD for patients and other lay readers.
I also forgot to mention that the annual Morgellon's medical conference is coming up in April, in Austin, TX. If you suffer from Morgellon's, this is a wonderful opportunity to connect with other MD patients, in addition to hearing and interacting with a line-up of fantastic speakers. http://www.thecehf.org/morgellons-2018-conference/
The conference is held at a comfortable hotel conveniently close to the Austin airport. And the weather in Texas in April is usually perfect, too. You won't be disappointed, I promise.

I met several recovered Morgellon's patients at last year's Morgellon's conference, so it is safe to say that a full and complete recovery from MD is indeed possible, but it took them several years of treatment to achieve recovery.
As the antibiotic protocols continue to improve, I predict that there will be even more successful and complete recoveries, and in a shorter time period, too.
PS -- That's why you need a copy of the Morgellon's book by Dr. Ginger Savely. (See my message above for a link to the book on Amazon.)
