Make Well - medical diagnosis

Morgellons disease has a fabled history that makes it a sensitive subject among patients and practitioners alike. Aside from puzzling physical symptoms, Morgellons disease is often accompanied by changes in a patient’s mental functioning as well, causing it to frequently be misdiagnosed as a form of mental illness – like Munchausen syndrome or delusional parasitosis. Whether a practitioner chooses to treat the physical symptoms or focus instead on treating the mind is a key difference in the patient experience. The best route for treating a person suffering from Morgellons disease is still being researched.

Morgellons Disease: Signs and Symptoms

Patients with Morgellons disease report a skin sensation to the feeling of bugs crawling beneath or stinging the skin, causing the skin to itch and become irritated. Another consistent symptom is painful sores, and patients report tiny black, red, and sometimes blue tendrils that resemble fibres or strings emerging from the sores or from healthy skin. Other patients with Morgellons disease report feeling fatigued and confused, and experience memory loss and depression.

The appearance of strange fibres emerging from the skin is one of the symptoms of Morgellons disease.

Morgellons Disease vs. Munchausen Syndrome

Unfortunately, patients often have Morgellons disease misdiagnosed as Munchausen syndrome. Munchausen syndrome is a disorder wherein patients are dishonest with practitioners about having certain symptoms. Some people suffering from Munchausen even go as far as to self-harm to induce symptoms. This is typically characterised as attention-seeking behaviour. Children are particularly susceptible to experiencing Munchausen syndrome by proxy if a caregiver has convinced the child that they are ill when there is no evidence to support the notion.

Because the physical symptoms of Morgellons disease have yet to be thoroughly explained by the medical community, some practitioners are unlikely to ever diagnose a patient with Morgellons. Instead, it seems that Munchausen syndrome is a popular diagnosis for practitioners who don’t understand Morgellons disease. It can be very discouraging for someone who is genuinely ill to experience what might be Morgellons disease misdiagnosed as Munchausen syndrome.

Delusional Parasitosis

A second common diagnosis received by patients presenting with symptoms consistent with Morgellons syndrome is delusional parasitosis. Delusional parasitosis is a psychotic illness causing patients to have the false belief that parasites, worms, or other insects have infested the patient’s skin. Since a person believing themselves to have Morgellons usually reports feeling incessantly itchy, some practitioners who don’t classify Morgellons disease as a real physical condition instead feel the symptoms are a result of mental illness, pursuing with psychiatric treatment options. Delusional parasitosis is rare, but usually occurs in people with hypochondria, and occasionally alongside other mental illnesses like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. It can sometimes be a symptom of withdrawal from drugs or alcohol.

Mary Leitao brought Morgellons disease into the contemporary public eye in the early 2000s after her son was diagnosed with delusional parasitosis. The young man repeatedly complained of feeling bugs under his skin, and Leitao reported pulling fibres from sores on her child’s face, consistent with what other Morgellons disease patients report. After finding little support from the medical community, she initiated a very public campaign pressuring American Congress and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to investigate Morgellons further. She was successful, but the CDC eventually concluded that Morgellons disease is more consistent with delusional parasitosis than any other theory.

The Toll of Misdiagnosis

The experience of having Morgellons disease misdiagnosed can be very damaging to a person’s mental and physical health. When a patient doesn’t feel heard or respected by their health practitioner, it can discourage a patient from following up when the treatment plan for a misdiagnosis inevitably doesn’t work. A series of misdiagnoses can lead to serious self-doubt, and for someone experiencing illness, that doubt can snowball into depression. What’s more, a patient runs the risk of beginning a treatment plan that can potentially do their body more harm than good if they involve unnecessary supplements and medications, or the wrong type.

Make Well - depression — Having Morgellons disease misdiagnosed as Munchausen syndrome or another condition can lead to patients experiencing depression, as well as many other medical complications.

What to Do if You Think You Have Morgellons Disease

If you are patient who feels they are living with Morgellons disease, but you’ve been misdiagnosed with Munchausen syndrome, delusional parasitosis or another ailment, there are a few ways that you might choose to proceed. The first step is to be sure to take care of any broken skin or open sores. Practitioners will be able to help you identify whether or not you’re at risk for infection if you have broken skin from scratching, and may prescribe something to prevent infection. Practitioners should always prioritise your health, and should assist you without judgment if you are in any obvious danger of infection or sepsis.

There is an extensive online community that can provide emotional support and share stories about things that have worked for them, but do proceed with caution as any medical information gathered there may not be scientifically sound. A combination of taking care of yourself physically and emotionally should be considered when seeking solutions. A mind-body approach to recovery will ensure that you’ve adequately considered your health from the inside out.

Make Well - doctor

Treatment for Lyme disease can be a long and complicated affair. Not many medical professionals know all that much about the long-term effects of Lyme disease, mostly because the disorder remains very much in a medical grey area. Discovered in 1975 in the town of Old Lyme, Connecticut, Lyme disease is a relatively new entry in the spectrum of human diseases. However, it is potentially one of the many debilitating. Despite the looming threat of widespread Lyme, which continues to grow year after year, chronic Lyme is still considered an outlier disorder by many medical professionals. This makes successful treatment particularly difficult. Many patients are hopeful about potential treatment initiatives in the near future, as Lyme cases continue to rise. One of the most promising is faecal matter transplants (also known as FMT).

FMT could be a useful treatment for Lyme disease.

Before we get into the specifics of FMT and how it might apply to Lyme, let’s take a look at why Lyme is such a tough disease to treat. In truth, it’s not! However, as with most diseases, timing is everything. Humans contract Lyme via tick bite. The infected tick transmits bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi, which is the cause of Lyme disease in humans. The first stage of the disease is called the acute stage; symptoms present themselves a few days to a couple of weeks after the initial infection. This is the most precarious time of Lyme infection – if the tick hasn’t been noticed, the patient is likely to write off the symptoms as a bout of flu. Fever, chills, headaches and fatigue are all commonly reported symptoms, but they’re all generalised. The real telltale symptom, and the only one that can truly identify Lyme, is a bullseye rash that develops around the site of the bite in the majority of cases.

If the acute stage is allowed to play out without antibiotic interruption, the chronic stage will begin after the initial symptoms recede. Antibiotics will cure the large majority of acute Lyme cases, without any additional treatment needed. However, antibiotics are never enough to treat chronic Lyme successfully. Chronic Lyme consists of an intricate and variable compound of infection and inflammation symptoms. The infection parts are caused by the remaining Borrelia bacteria, which can still cause havoc in the body, depending on its location. The inflammation symptoms are caused by an overactive immune response, when the body overcompensates for the Borrelia infection it can’t eradicate. The resulting symptoms include muscle and joint pain, restricted movement and heavy, long-term fatigue. Treatment needs to tackle the infection and inflammation symptoms simultaneously, making it a very complicated process.

To compound things, Lyme affects each patient differently. Some people might suffer from very little infection symptoms, but be plagued by widespread inflammation. Some might even suffer from neuroborreliosis, a severe development where the Borrelia bacteria infiltrates the blood-brain barrier and causes a number of cognitive symptoms. A disease with widespread afflictions requires widespread treatments. But could faecal matter transplants for Lyme patients be part of the answer?

Let’s take a look at what FMT actually involves before we investigate how it might apply to Lyme. As the name suggests, FMT involves a doctor transferring faecal matter from a healthy donor into the gut of a patient. The faecal matter is replenished and cleaned to concentrate all live bacteria – for example, in a capsule that may be ingested similar to a probiotic. The gut is home to millions of bacteria, all of which are in delicate balance. They make sure we gain benefits from the nutrients we eat, and also have a significant role to play in our immune response and overall health. If illness or infection throws our gut balance out of whack, the results can be extremely detrimental. Faecal matter from a healthy donor can encourage helpful bacteria growth in the patient’s gut, restoring some balance and supporting the body as it fights the illness or infection. Recent research suggests that FMT may be a powerful potential therapeutic application in the future to help fight a number of chronic diseases such as diabetes, fibromyalgia, hay fever, chronic fatigue syndrome, and even mood disorders such as depression.

Faecal matter transplants are considered relatively safe, as long as the donor is well-vetted by a doctor and clear of any harmful conditions. When this treatment was first instigated over 1,700 years ago in ancient China, the procedure involved the patient imbibing a liquid suspension of the donor’s faeces; a highly risky (and rather repulsive) technique that has since been overtaken by safe, sterile and modern methods. Gut health is hugely important, as we need nutrients and minerals to keep our bodies in good shape. Without that, patients are surely fighting a losing battle against any chronic condition.

Make Well - gut health — Gut health is extremely important, especially for those fighting chronic illnesses like Lyme disease.

So could FMT be a potential treatment for Lyme? Currently, any evidence of it being helpful are only anecdotal, and further research is necessary to ascertain just how effective it might be. However, given that FMT helps a number of other chronic conditions, and taking into account the role the immune system plays in chronic Lyme, there is a good foundation for suspecting it might significantly help. As it stands, the treatment for chronic Lyme is two-pronged. Infection is fought via traditional antibiotics, while inflammation is tackled using supplements from outlets like Make Well, whose all-natural product range is designed to support the treatment of chronic conditions. But as to whether faecal matter transplants provide an effective new tool for doctors on the frontline of Lyme disease? Only time, and more research, will tell.
