In the first three years I suffered with Morgellons disease I was totally on my own. All I knew was that I had something on and in my body that I could see and feel but my doctors were trying to tell me I was having delusions of parasites.

They also told me the ulcerous sores on my body were the results of self excoriation. I made all of the classic moves like bringing in fibers to show the them. The humiliating treatment I received from the medical profession only succeeded in making me very angry and fueled my great determination to prove them wrong. I thought that I was the only person going through this misery and didn't learn for several years that other had these same symptoms.

In the beginning I was looking for something with a logical and biological explanation. I was not into any sort of conspiracy theories. I simply thought I would get a microscope and study what was on my body. I believed that with enough studying and looking through the scope that I would identify what disease I had from a known database of recognized diseases.
