WORKED TEMPORARILY
I had Morgellons for about 16 years and visited many doctors who all stated that I had Ekbom Syndrome "Delusory parasitosis, a belief that one's body is infested by invisible bugs." Funny thing is none of the doctors took the time to even look at my skin or take a biopsy. My latest Doctor gave me the same diagnosis but provided me with a prescription for Ivermectin and explained that it is what they use in Dogs for Heart Worm and for humans with River Blindness also known as Onchocerciasis. I was Morgellons free within a week of taking the medication but it did take 6 weeks or so till the areas healed where the bugs died under my skin and eventually came out as small pimples over many parts of my body. I had several people comment on how smooth my back felt during that time as my back has been rough with small bumps for many years. All was well for 6 months till my daughter moved back into my house with the family dog. It is almost as if I have caught it again from either the dog or my daughter who has a visible skin condition all over her body even worse than I had with the disease. Hard part about this is she does not believe that she has Morgellons and refuses to bring this up to a doctor. I guess if you treat one you must treat all at the same time including pets or you will catch it right back.
