I have to find out what is causing these symptoms so I can get rid of

Sent to Health Experts July 19, 2006 6:19 p.m.

I have had symptoms of crawling and biting on my skin since December. I have pimple
like bumps appear. I have also lost 65 pounds since last November. These symptoms disturb my sleep. Otherwise I feel ok. I have had all the mercury removed from my teeth to help my immune system. I had terrible brain fog in the beginning. The only thing that seems to help me is a sulfa cream with essential oils and a mite deterant, and hot baths. I have had numerous medical tests all have been negative. I went out west to see parisitologists. Some believe it to be an internal parasite. Nothing cam up in Lyme and Stool tests done by Hmo. I have spent thousands and missed two months work in the beginning. I wish someone could come up with something. Some people on the internet seem to think it is Morgellons desease. Others think it is neurological and immune system related. I have had herpes for years, but it never bothered me. I also believe I had chronic fatigue for many years also. I do not want to lose any more
weight and wish someone out there could help me. XXXXX@XXXXXX.XXX

Do these bumps have puss or appear as lesions. Have you been tested for all STD's. I see your Eptein Barr positive if you have CFS. Let me know the above please.

I have been tested for HIV and am negative. As I
said I have had herpes for 25 years, no problems
hardly ever break out.

The lesions have no puss, they are more like hives or little red blood spots. They come and go but are mostly on my back. The stinging (like
insects) is mostly on my feet, where I have no
lesions. The chronic fatigue was as I was going
through menopause when I was fat, 65 lbs ago. I
have no aches or pains to speak of, probably due
to the weight loss. The symptoms I mentioned, however, are enough to make you crazy. I am in no was a nut!!!!!!!!!!! Please help mf

There are many more STD's other then herpes and HIV.

You should be checked for what is known as Mulluscum.

check the links and see if this appears to be any of your current symptoms.

http://www.molluscum.com/

http://www.herpes-coldsores.com/std/molluscum.htm

Like I said there are many types of STD's. This could be a simple allergy, hives, shingles or other.

But you need further testing on this. Especially with hsv in your system and barr epstein.

Most of my symptoms are that of crawling and
biting on the skin. No sores like those in your
picture. Does mulluscum have symptoms of itching,crawling, and biting?? Is significant
weight loss a symptom? smf

ACCEPTED

Weight loss no unless other underlying conditions exist. Itching and crawling yes it does.

You do exhibit also the signs of possible Morgellons :

But this could tie in also with your HSV and nervous system.

It appears that you have had very good work ups and testing. It is sometimes just a matter of finding the right doctor at the right place.

I would be checked for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome a condition caused by the Epstein Barr Virus. So this goes back also to HSV and Neuro problems.

The best I can tell you at this point is to continue to read over what I gave you on the links and further your test for the Epstein Barr and other Neuro problems such as shingles and hives.

This is about the best at this time I can provide for you.

You may want to be tested for the Mulluscum disorder as well.
