		<description>claire- 
was wondering how you were able to discern that you are definitely Lyme free... that can be tricky- and expensive!

yes, i do know of the connection, and have considered that i may have one of the milder variants (there are several).  
Unfortunately, i know of no medical insurance that is willing to cover the kind of testing required, the results are often iffy at best, and frankly, my pockets just arent that deep...

 but i think that having grown up in tick-heaven is grounds enough for vague suspicion, anyway.

another thing i learned about Morphea is that there is a genetic connection to several family lines of Oklahoma Choctaw.  i am of choctaw descent, altho several generations removed and not sure of specific family ties... but i found that an interesting coincidence, at least. 

as far as autoimmune illnesses go... morphea doesnt seem that bad when so many are just horrible! so far mine hasn&#039;t manifested worse than an occasional inconvenience, brought on by various combinations of stress, hormone imbalances, dietary deficiencies and/or chemical toxins. as far as i can tell, anyway.

how has your condition progressed? how long afterward did Morgellon&#039;s develop, and what sort of connections have you made there? i am so intrigued by the fungus hypotheses... or has it been confirmed now?  
no morg&#039;s here, but i certainly do know what its like to have all kinds of wierd skin sensations from exposure to mystery fungus- and how frustrating it feels to be patronized and ignored by your doctor!

looking forward to your eventual response....
until then, and to all readers on this column-
i wish you a very Merry CHRISTmas, and a New Year filled with Hope!

Rest to the Weary,

		<description>bo&#039;nana -

Give me a little time.  I&#039;ve been meaning to write it up for some time now, instead of re-writing it over and over and thrown together.  I&#039;ll do it on word pad, then copy and paste.
Just curious - have you ever heard of a connection between Borrelia burgdorferi and Morphea?  Google it.  Very interesting, because I don&#039;t have Lyme, but I got Morphea while living very close to Lyme, CT.  A nurse I worked with had Lyme Disease.
Will get back to you...

		<description>hi again,
i wrote awhile back about how moving out of the soCal area greatly improved me &amp; my family&#039;s health &amp; quality of life....
well it did. for several years. but portland has been inviting a great deal of expansion over the past few years, there has been a real population explosion in our valley... and the effects are becoming noticeable: we now have Traffic, Overcrowding in many areas, and SMOG. our water has had issues with contaminants, and now they are talking about adding new chemicals to the stuff we drink in an effort to combat the other chemicals etc.  because of our wet climate, molds are something we have always had to be vigilant against. i dont know about morgellons in portland yet, but we are the lucky recipients of the boobyprize for having the most victims of MS (just as nasty).
this has been an interesting year for my own family: my ADHD/Tourette&#039;s son landed in emergency twice with severe asthma attacks (something that only happens to him in periods of bad air: smog, fires, etc)... both my husband and i have experienced a great deal of unexplained hairloss (over the course of the year we have gone to approximately half of what we had before).... and this past spring i was diagnosed with Morphea, which is a type of Scleroderma.
so, in case anyone was thinking portland might be the place to go to get away from pollution, think again before moving here- our valley is well on its way to being the next &quot;LA Basin&quot;. oh, and we have major issues with jet Contrails overhead too. plus now i am finding out that we have stuff drifting over from japan too.... and even eastern oregon has big problems with smog, becoz of the coal-fired Boardman Power plant which supplies electricity to most everyone in this part of the state.
grrrrr.... is there no way to escape!
i guess we are all reaping according to how we have sown, eh. somehow its ALL going to turn out to be POLLUTION related. even the crazy wierd funguses, becoz they feed on our chemicals and our toxins and then infect us with our own poisons.
Stephanie- i like your suggestions. i am allready using castille soap becoz my hair and scalp no longer tolerate the chems in ordinary shampoos. i am going to try your scrub and see if it helps the wierd little sores i keep getting on my face and under my arms (also something new to my whole family this year) that might be mrsa? they start like pimples but burn like fire and refuse to heal. maybe your recipe will work for that too!
cheers</description>

		<description>Its a Fungal  infection
complicated by miasis.
Theard like fungus grows in top layer of skin exploding giving a stinging biting feeling. The constant growing exploding reattaching itself to your skin causes constant unrest.
buy 1 sanding wet sponge fine /medium
in a blender, blend to a smooth mixture 
2 yellow onions with skin 
1 avocado with skin and seed
3 limes peel seeds and all
1 cup collodial oatmeal
soak whole body hair too
wash with oatmeal bar and sanding sponge
sores start to heal, fugus starts to die
3 to 4 baths should do it, but your house, car, cloths are a source of reinfection. Use white vinegar to clean 9% spray floor, car</description>

		<description>This is actually some thing that is done to you.  I cannot disclose who I am for fear of loosing my security clearance.  Those sores are something that is done directly to you.  It is administered by way of clear fluid that comes off of thier finger tips and flicked on you.  The more concentrated version is delivered by an aerosaul can.  The fact that this is going on is a highly gaurded secret.  I have tryed to put a stop to this sort of thing in the past and have found it to be a rather dawnting task.  If you want to put a stop to this, please email me at unificationv@gmail.com</description>
