First I DO NOT HAVE THIS!!!!
But I had a neighbor who said she had it. She told us of fibers that came out of her skin etc and other symptoms, but we were never able to actually see this happening! As we lived next door, we asked if she could drop by to show us the fibers exiting her skin….but we never were called! We had many discussions re this but could never get any sense out of our talks with her. We thought that it was psychosomatic as she seemed to go on vacations etc and never get 'sick' then, only at home. She used to go to holistic medics for treatment of her medicals issues and was always taking herbals rather than conventional meds.
She more recently said it was Lyme disease that cause the M, and took long courses of antibiotics and anti-fungals for that. I really didn't know what to think as she seemed to have so many different symptoms and was always in search of new docs and meds. She has moved away now, but am sure she is still afflicted by and being treated for her symptoms. I will never know???
Even if it is psychosomatic, it was real to her and gave her a lot of misery. I don't think she ever had any psych drugs for this 'disease'. It is a weird syndrome and she used to go to online chat rooms to discuss their common issues.
