There are a few treatment options available for those who suffer from
Morgellons (also known as
Morgellon’s Disease or
Morgellon’s Syndrome), but no known cure at this time. Many treatment options are designed as treatments for other diseases or ailments (physical and/or psychological), but are effective at treating specific
Morgellons symptoms. If patients are willing to accede that many doctor's will not see
Morgellons as their problem and therefore will want to treat the symptoms, they will find a treatment option (or several, perhaps) that work. Holistic Treatment Options
Many holistic options exist for the treatment of Morgellon’s Disease. They include:
•Using Epsom salts and similar additives for baths. •Eating fruits and vegetables that are low in sugar. •Avoiding lunchmeat and similar pre-packaged foods. •Wearing clothes only once before laundering. •Drinking only purified water (such as distilled or filtered water). •Colonics and similar remedies have proven to be helpful for treatment of many symptoms and for general bodily detoxification. •Discontinue the use of items such as bleach, ammonia, pesticides, fragrance/mineral oils, and any cleansing items that are similarly made. •Use products such as baking soda, salt, borax, and botanical blends to wash clothing. •Use items that are chemical free to wash fruits, vegetables, and animals. •Medical Treatment Options
Medical treatment options for Morgellons are limited. They include treatments such as:
•Medications designed to treat Lyme disease. •Antidepressants and prescriptions for medicines that deal with bipolar disorder and attention deficit disorder (ADD). •Some allergy medications or medications that target mold sufferers. •For those just beginning to suffer from Morgellons symptoms, antibiotics can effectively offer relief. •Antifungal medications are very helpful for many Morgellons sufferers. •Laser skin treatments have been proven to offer skin relief for longer periods of time than many other methods. One of the most important treatment methods for Morgellons patients is an open mind. While this seems like it would be a given, for Morgellons patients it is not. These patients are often looked down upon by the medical community as a whole, and treated as psychologically-impaired. They are often laughed at, ridiculed, and their symptoms are treated as delusional rantings. However, many doctors will treat symptoms that they can identify and offer help for. If a patient is not receiving treatment for symptoms that can be treated, they should seek assistance from another physician or healthcare provider.
Keeping an open mind will help in several ways: 1.Doctors will assume you have just about anything except Morgellons. They will treat you for many things, and some of these treatments will help. Be willing to allow a doctor to try a treatment, and follow this treatment plan for a period long enough for the treatment to effectively fail or succeed.
2.You may not have Morgellons. Using a treatment that works for another illness may cure the root problem, eliminating the possibility of Morgellons.
3.Morgellons is not a medically-accepted illness at this time. Studies are being conducted by the CDC (Center for Disease Control) to determine whether Morgellons should be recognized and have its own treatment methods researched and/or established. If findings show that Morgellons is not a disease in and of itself, be willing to accept the facts and seek treatment for other underlying illnesses.
Morgellons sufferers may have a long way to go before a successful long-term treatment option is found. They may have an even greater length of time before a cure is found. This is in addition to the time they must still wait to find out if Morgellons is even real. Treatment options that work should be used. Make a note of what works for you and show your doctor, so that Morgellons-like symptoms may be treated in other patients.
