Brief Answer:
there is nothing to kill according to your doctor...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Morgellons disease is actually a delusion of parasitosis, causing the patient to believe that parasites inhabit the patient's body. Since this is not really true (or that's what your doctor seems to believe), there is nothing to kill. The drugs will help you to alleviate your belief (or fear) and perhaps even overcome it.

There is no complete cure for this, as it may recur.

Kind Regards!

No,I do have Morgellons and the doctor acknowledged that I do have an unknown disease and she doesnt know how to fix it, so she told me that the meds will just help me to cope with the problem. But all the physical symptoms are there. I guess you might not know much about this and are guessing

Brief Answer:
let me explain again...

Detailed Answer:
Perhaps I wasn't explicit enough!

Morgellons disease is a psychiatric disorder, not an infectious one. The patient is completely convinced that parasites are all over his body but the truth is that there is no parasite (or other bug). The symptoms are real and the patient may suffer but there is no infectious target for the doctor to aim at. That's why your doctor prescribed psychiatric drugs, which are supposed to reduce the symptoms or make them disappear completely.

I hope this is easier to understand now. Please contact me again, if you'd like further clarifications.

Kind Regards!

Well, it is morgellons but morgellons can also have parasites. Morgellons is the name they give any condition that they have no idea of the origin or a cure. You obviously hardly know what you are talking about so I dont need to adk any more questions. You should really do your homework before you give people the wrong answers

Brief Answer:
I can't help any more...

Detailed Answer:
I'm sorry but I can do nothing more than to stick to medical answers. I can't judge either your doctor's strategy or your personal point of view. Morgellons means no parasites in medicine. There is no parasite that can't be detected in modern medicine.

I hope you find the cure you're after...

Best wishes for your health!
