Itchy stinging biting sensation

For about two weeks now I have been having random stings all over my body even my scalp. There is also itching and a feeling of things jumping or moving on my skin. I have been checked for scabies, fleas, mites and lice. I have none of those. There is also random red bumps scattered on my body. Most of them are on areas where my clothing is covering tightly. Where my bra sits and underwear, thigh, butt. And there is also red dots on random places on my body. I have been taking long hot showers. I stopped taking hot long showers about two days ago and I am using gold bond lotion after showering. I stick to one lukewarm short shower a day now. I also am taking Allegra (type 1), Zantac (type 2 antihistamine), Garlic (500 mg) and Vitamin B. I take these once a day in the morning. I have been told I have eczema. I know what is happening to me is an allergic reaction I'm wondering if it is related to something like the Garlic pills or Vitamin B or something else?

Hi all, haven't checked back here in a long time.  Sorry to see this affliction is still alive and well.  Been 2.5 years since we had our "bugs".  So know that it can go away and stay away!!!   I believe it was a lyme co-infection we picked up.  Bacterial.  Bartonella-like. or possibly a new staph-like bug.  The cat might have brought it in.   Don't use pesticides.  Get an antibiotic some how, or at least use a good silver.  I like Argentyn23.  My daughters' and my symptoms resolved on their own after about 6-7 weeks thank God.  With antibiotics would have been much shorter, I think.  Like I posted before, we had chills during first week.  and I remember being very thirsty, like I had rabies or something! Anyone else?  Soak in hot tub full of chlorine if you can find one to use, that helped me.  Like others have said, keep your immune system boosted.  I don't think the borax and cleaning really did all that much, maybe for piece of mind.. At first we thought like many, that we had bird mites or something..lol, lol...  As I posted before, we had the scratches, angiomas, bumps that would come and go, rashes, bruises, moles, you name it. and of course, the lovely little black emerging specks from the skin (damaged skin cells I think due to the hexagon shape, under digital microscope).  Saw a lot of white dust like particles too, but maybe I was hallucinating... The worst was the crawling and stinging, especially the first two weeks.  Was better if we stayed up all night and slept in day (was summer so we could do it).  Felt like being eaten alive.  Eyeballs attacked, throat, esophagus, privates, eek...Will never forget...And I will never have faith in the medical community ever again. 8 worthless doctors we went to in multiple specialties.  Even went to a Cornell derm... ******* MDs are worried about spreading the measles!  Give me a break!  F the measles, I had the measles and I'd take that 5X over these bugs..Wait till they start getting it. It's only a matter of time folks, then we'll see who the crazy ones are!!!! Our worthless pediatrician at the time actually accused me of giving my kids the symptoms, like we were all nuts!  Yeah, I made my daughter feel stinging and biting and made her throat and  big toes suddenly blow up with puss just with my mind, sure lady, I'm that powerful, oooh!   Our symptoms all started at the same time!!! If it had been just me, I would have just taken a **** load of xanax till it was over!!!  Really pray she and her kids get it someday!    Keep posting and don't give up fighting thisl!!!

Thank God I found this site.  I thought I was the only one with these problems.  I have been experiencing this awful condition for four months now.  I've seen an internist and three dermatologists and have been on everything from Permethrin to a foam and many creams for my scalp, Cetaphil moisturizer and body wash, Methylprednisolone pack and allergy pills.  Right now I'm on three different pills the current dermatologist wants me to take for three weeks. Two in the morning and one before bed with no relief.  My kids think it's all in my head because they don't see anything and want me to see a shrink.  I have no idea what to do next.  My nephew did mention Morgellons when my sister told him about me.  I am going to look into that site. I am so sorry you all are going through this.  We have to support each other because those who have never experienced this have any idea what we're going through.  God help us!

I am getting the scratches as well. skin will just slice open like a paper cut.. I sting in evey pore of my entire body.. Turn off your computer and tv at night the emfs do not help.. see episode of the doctors on utube about morgellans however the doc died that was trying to help. This is a coverup, they are not recognizing it and thousands are being affected.. I did not even know there was such a thing.. Some days I just scream non stop it is so severe. I have no open sores just these scratches .Also Joni Mitchell is a sufferer for years.

I have morgellans and so does my cat.. I am stung over my entire body 247 to the point I am living in the tub.. I am unable to get any help. It is in every pore of my body. Things coming out of myself and my cat. She has bartonella and scratched me but I am unable to take any antibiotics. This hit after 40 pills of levaquin that almost killed me.. Then my system blew and I have had this 3 years. I cannot function or get help. I have tried every bath for morgellans possible. I believe this is becoming an slow epidemic..***@****
