I have never seen anyone in person with this condition....I have never talked with anyone that believes they have this condition. Joni Mitchell is in the hospital now and one of her illnesses is Morgellons Disease, which she has had for many, many years.

There have been many studies on this condition and the bottom line seems to be it is a psychosomatic issue. I personally can not understand how a person can have "strings" or "fibers" coming out of their skin, and this can be considered psychosomatic???? If they were imagining the strings were there, OK....but when the fibers are actually visable to the naked eye, by anyone looking at them, how is this psychosomatic?

We have an enormous number of people reading this forum, and I would LOVE to hear if anyone of our readers have this condition, or if they know first hand of anyone that has the condition. This is soooooo interesting to me, and I would really like to hear what others think about this syndrome.....especially if YOU have the disease and actually have these fibers/strings coming from your skin.....can you pull them out? Does it hurt when you pull on them? Do you have any other symptoms? I think this is sooo interesting......I cant possibly be the only one that finds this confusing and mysterious....???
