Why is it so hard to believe that Morgellons is a real disease? When a person has symptoms that are blown off by the medical field then yes that patient will suffer anxiety. I applaud the efforts to find out what is wrong with these people. Seems to be about time someone listened to those who are suffering the effects.

I have a very good Dr. , a Dermatologist that is concerned with the problems of the patient .
I was finally (after about a year and a half) found out that i have a condition Called Citracalitic Phermagoid
with only about 75 people in the world having this condition Dr. Williams has gotten a control on the problem and I don't have sores all over my body any more however this condition is incurable but not contagis
Want Help Contact Dr. Walter Williams, in Clarkston, Washington He is very in depth and will help.

I was very intrigued by this article that I had to do a little bit of research. There is no doubt in my mind that this disease is very real. Just because it hasn't been "properly identified" by American Medicine does not mean it's not real. I don't have to have it to see that the lesions and all the symptoms described are real. I found that the first public siting of Morgellon's disease was discovered in China in 1994. Strange coincidence but there was a recent case of leprosy in China in the past 10 -15 years. I was already thinking leprosy before I found out that little morsel of information. Maybe some strange mutated strain of leprosy. I'm not a scientist, not even in the science field but I know one thing -- thousands of people across the face the earth (includes China, Europe & The USA) have similar symptoms. tHEY DON'T EVEN KNOW EACH OTHER?HOW CAN THIS BE A DELUSION? It's not. BTW, i also found something about an old Hebrew disease called "Tzaraath" ... very interesting reading doctors... go read up on it.

My comments are directed at sexybodysexybrain and wshill : If this was the 1950s you'd be blaming it on the communists, if this was the 1930s you'd be blaming it on the Jews and the Gypsies. Medical problems typically do not discriminate--they can affect everyone--rich, poor, immigrant, or even solid American citizens whose families sailed on the Mayflower. Attitudes like yours impede medical research and start fear campaigns that do not help anyone.

I don't see what everyone is getting bent out of shape about. A half million dollars is nothing. We are spending more than that per day fighting in Iraq. More than a billion dollars a month. WHATS THE BIG DEAL, put the money towards research, new diseases are poping up all over the place.

Comment: I'm interested to see all the "open-minded" folks posting here who have based their opinions of Dr. Meffert on a few lines in an article. Editors do a great job of taking things out of context for the right "sound bite."
Many have posted that his attitude (or what they think his attitude is after seeing a few sentences) is what is wrong with the medical profession. Doctors are too dismissive, too quick to judge, too close-minded, etc.

But if we're ripping on a guy we don't like because he disagrees with us, then that's ok. We're not closed-off, are we? I am sure we didnt get Meffert's entire comment! BUT, when you are charged with treating people you do not dismiss EVERYONE of the patients that has come forward as loons because your Physician's Desk Reference doesnt have a title for it!

If it were up to doctors like Meffert, AIDS would still be known as the GAY CANCER, because they said so!!

BTW...I dont believe in aliens or even ghosts!

LMAO.......hey bnucki, here are some helpful hints for some of your concerns....use a condom, stay away from IV drugs, keep your fat a$$ kids off of mcdonalds and soda, and away from video games and tv.....hope that helps.........

There was a time in this country when not all was known. In the grand scheme of things, a half a million dollars does not seem like an outrageous amount of money to spend on a possibly REAL disease. I certainly hope that all of you who have voiced such dismissive and flat-out mean comments never experience what these people have gone through. You all must be lucky to have NEVER gone to a doctor and complain about a symptom just to have a doctor dismiss you as "crazy." Good luck to the CDC and whatever results they find.

For years FM was thought just to be a myth and yet hundreds of thousands suffer with it. its easy to discount something if you are not afflicted with it. Hope they find out what this is.

Most possibly indifference and sarcasm from the doctor cause patiaent's mistrust and that's why they don't
go back to their doctors even if they believe what they say. Doctors like other scientists must accept they are not almighty and majority of peolpe are not stupid. A good doctor has to listen and learn from patient specially in the cases involving new diseases. Our medical science is much behind than other sciences; who knows may be genetically modified foods causing it.

Any Doctor whom remains close minded on this subject is a quack. These so called professionals are legends in their own minds and see themselves as almost diety like. It's just that simple. Oh, and right-on Waldo_Fazoosa.

Well enucki I certainly hope you never come down with some unexplained illness....all of the diseases you mentioned were once unexplained. So do some research before you criticize.

I cannot believe that something is finally being done about this condition. A few years ago I discovered these strange fibers after picking at an ingrown hair (or so I thought it was) after looking more closely I could not identify it. I called my sister who is a nurse and she was freaked out. She told me to call the doctor. I told her there was no way I was goingto the doctor and explaining that I have wierd fibers in my body, surely they would think I was nuts. So I started looking on the internet. Sure enough there were other people who were going to the doctor and guess what, BECAUSE THE MEDICAL FIELD DID NOT HAVE ANSWERS they said these people were crazy, neurotic, depressed, mentally ill, fill in the blank. Just like they said about people who have fibromyalgia. They did not know what that wasw so they said people were crazy. Now they diagnose it all the time. For all of you that think we are crazy because we have a real symptom of Morgellons, think again, one day you may find something wrong with you and the doctor could say your crazy. Just because the doctors cannot explain it, does not mean it does not exist. With all the new enviornmental hazards we are exposed to you never know what new disease one is apt to get.

This disease in San Antonio was in the news three months ago--it was tracked to illegal Mexicans bringing it in from Mexico--Morgellons is common in countries with poor general hygiene--these Texas citizens particularly and all of us generally can thank our federal politicians for not upholding the immigration laws which mandates health screening so that U.S. citizens don't have to suffer . This is the perfect example of how little our politicians care about us citizens and would rather endanger us and get votes to stay in office. On the same day there was an article confirming that illegal Mexicans had just reached the 1,000,000 mark in commiting rape and child molestations against the U.S. female population. You see immigration laws protect the citizens and anyone who supports illegal immigration, allowing them to remain, granting amesty, etc. should be charged with subverting the laws of the United States and neglect of the ir constitutional duties of office in allowing such dangers in the first place!
