Ha….well, Ivermection or HCQ would probably work, but good luck with that. HCQ is used for patients with
Arthritis due to lyme disease. But there is so much scrutiny with these products, and doctors are reserving them for covid patients (i.e., they are allotted only so many silver bullets). My physician says fenbendazole is very similar, so between that and doxycycline, I’m basically on a covid cocktail. She very specifically told me only to get Merck brands. Safeguard or Panacur. On Amazon, it’s about $6 for a three day supply. About $9 from an online pet store.
I realize I am repeating myself (see my other posts) but here is what I do.
Orally:
1g (10 pound dog) Panacur or Safeguard pulsed, 4 days on, 3 off (I mix in applesauce; it has no taste.)
100 mg twice daily doxycycline (or I could have gotten a z-pack, but this is easier on the stomach)
Going up on the Safeguard dose was painful, causing breakouts and scabbing. Safeguard helps the fibers release; the
Antibiotic helps the pain.
Topically, blend in a mini processor :
1/3 jar Albolene (morgellons hates an oil cleanser, seems to gorge on it and then die, a bit. This one I like for its consistency. Cheap, too)
1g packet fenbendazole
A couple pumps Le Mieux O2 calming gel (I think you could sub aloe gel, but haven’t tried this). Helps dissolve the fenbendazole. (The calming gel is about $22, so not much more expensive than aloe.)
Use very generously, massaging in and then removing debris (a polite term). Blending it well helps distinguish the white “easter eggs” that pop out — this is another kill mechanism that seems related to combining the O2 gel with the cleansing oil. You may not get that using an aloe gel. (But will probably get all the other crap that comes out.). Morgellons fibers still need to be removed, but this helps a lot.
An ivermectin cream is super expensive, $700-$800 a pop, and insurance probably won’t cover.
I keep reposting occasionally so the information gets out. As others say, it is not an instant cure but a treatment that takes time. But I do know the despair, and have made significant progress. As information gets out, hopefully treatment options will continue to improve. I am very deeply blessed that I have a sympathetic and highly competent physician to work with on this. It’s not even her specialty; but she is a true healer.
