Re: Morgellons and pregnancy

Hello FDM:

"Hi there - I believe I'm pregnant - the home tests (3 of them!) all immediately typed out the word PREGNANT. And, I have Morgellons for which recently I've been trying both topical external remedies and internal herbal remedies - though due to side effects, I stopped the herbals maybe 2 weeks ago?"

Oh, that's a surprise!:) Congrats.




"I know I've taken Soverign Silver since then, multivitamins, garlic and my pharma RX's (ugh)."

You should be okay with those things, but don't know about the pharm drugs. Despite this, many people have taken pharm drugs and stopped; the baby turned out fine. :)



"Anyway, have you come across any research about Morgellons and pregnancy and the possibility of passing this horrible disease on?"

No I haven't, but will keep my eyes open. There are some other good researchers on this Forum too and perhaps they can pitch in with finding info for you. It seems as though 70428 is off to a good start!:)




"I wonder if it can be passed through a blood exchange? Or internally via the fibers. I'm imagining all sorts of terrible things.... I need to have an attitude adjustment and start thinking positive thoughts...Also, how would I find out the saftey of the various Morgellons recommended treatments while pregnant? Any thoughts would be very helpful."

I'm not sure exactly how it would work in your case. I can understand you having various thoughts on the matter. The best thing to do is to stay "balanced" until we can find some information for you. :) I want to double check on something and I'll email you too.



"I'm calling my OB to have a blood test. I have no idea what to say about the Morgellons issue... I can't find an MD to treat me in the Chicago area... how will I ever find an OB to care for both of us?"

I think it is a good idea to have a test done. You need all the information that you can get. You don't have to mentioned Morgellons, yet. You could have a general discussion around pregnancy and parasites. What does it mean for you and your baby.




"terrified and mystified, Katherine"

Katherine, I can imagine and understand. There is bound to be some information for you so that you can be informed. There are many people who have Morgellons and I'm sure there have been pregnancies involved. If you can, remain calm. I'm here and will be touch. :)
