Morgellon disease needs treatment with drugs like olanzapine or resperidone in one fifth of their regular doses. You should consult a psychiatrist for this. Your dermatologist who has examined you is treating you for fungal infection (deep mycosis) with diflucan. I suggest you continue with diflucan. Weight loss and fungal Iinfection in itself calls for detailed examination and work up to rule out diabetes and hiv. Morgellon disease would then be a diagnosis of exclusion in your case. Hope that answers your question.
