wild_bill i have removed more of that crap from my poor ol face then i would ever admit to a single solitary soul. I don't think i would have a face if i hadn't. Nose, lips, all the same as your hand. I am so amazed at your bravery in posting this, i am afraid of the reprocussions (sp?) if i were to do the same. No one has ever "caught" this from me, i have had it for 7 years, the last 5 spent a good amount of time soaking my face in very warm water then removing exactly what you show there. I have seen lots of pictures of Morgellons, but no one talked about the clotted blood, those huge clots that come from such a tiny puncture as to make me question my own sanity even as i go through this. IT doens't seem possible but there it is all the same. I am going on a decline, it had never been anywhere else but my face until this summer. I didn't even know what it was and because of the docs i had resigned myself to this being a private hell. Now i know so much more and am seriously worried. I have people that are counting on me for their future security. IF you pm me i will send you my e-mail address. I just want you to know i am so sorry that you are going through this, i wish it was my own private hell, am horrified that it is happening to so many people including children. I hope that i can talk with you, if not, you will be in my thoughts. I am trying the salt and c diet..i feel like a pillar of salt at this point but too soon to know if it is making a difference or not.
