To the clinician seeing me today
I am here for skin sensations and lesions that have lasted _______________ (weeks / months / years). I use the patient term “Morgellons” because it is the word that matches what I see. I am not asking you to adopt a contested diagnosis on sight. I am asking you to look, document, and treat what is treatable.
What I experience
- Crawling / biting / stinging / burning (circle)
- Visible material: fibers / specks / granules / none today (circle)
- Locations: ______________________________________________
- Sleep, work, mood impact: ________________________________
What I am asking
- A full skin exam and wound care if sores are open.
- To rule out ordinary infection, infestation, dermatitis, and other medical causes before the visit is filed as psychiatric only.
- Help with itch, sleep, and pain even if we disagree about cause.
- A follow-up plan I can read on paper.
What I have already tried
________________________________________________________________
I know the 2012 CDC-sponsored study did not find a shared pathogen with the tests used, and that 2025–2026 papers still disagree. I am not here to litigate that literature in a fifteen-minute slot. I am here because my skin and my days are not working.
