I've posted on here before about little maroon bugs (mites) on me that I seem to attract after a serious infestation 2 years ago of hard tick chiggers. I have been told they are clover mites and red biting mites, and they pack a wollop. Anybody else can be at my house, (or anywhere else where there are clover mites, which is everywhere) and are not bothered, but they sting me and I have large wounds that have gotten infected on my back and groin area. Now there are these little white hard "rice" type things that go with them, and they seem to go into the open wounds. I throught Morgellon's, I've thought everything, but the fact is, they are real, the "bites" are real, the open wounds are real and I'm about to go out of my gourd. I can't sleep in my bed, I get attacked, I can't stand on the floor barefoot as they attack, I can't sit in my chair or they attack; all I do is pace to exhaustion. I've tried creams, antifungals, different shampoo's, lotions, prescriptions, antihistamine sprays, bug sprays, every friggin toxin I can put in or on my body, and it gets worse. I'm afraid to get dressed, I have to blow dry my clothes first, I can't sleep, I have to blow dry anything I'm on or steam it. My skin looks like leather from all the crap I've put on it, and I can no longer use any DEET as I've used so much of it that at one point, I became toxic. I live in Denver, and I've been to about every doctor here, every hospital, every ACE hardware. Nobody know what to do. I've had psychological evals (I was committed twice because of these "bugs", as I was told I was having a "psychotic break"), and everyone now agrees there is something horribly wrong, but they don't seem to want to ACT!!! They are using me as a guinnea pig, "here, try this lotion, or this cream, or blah, blah, blah...", I need them to take the samples I give them and send them to the CDC or somewhere. I need them to tell me what KIND of doctor to go to, but they seem to want to "figure it out for themselves." And, they say they don't know where to send me-so instead of researching this or going online or whatever they do, they just tell me, "we're on your side, we believe you, we can see the bites, but you gotta hand in there just a little more!" It's been over 2 years, how much longer am I supposed to wait??
Can anyone tell me how to get a doctor to ACT? They see how badly I am suffering (was in cardiac care for a week as stress from this made my blood pressure go to 258/100.
Is it just because it seems like doctors don't want to take any time with a patient, or do they just overbook or they don't like to admit they're wrong or don't know? I don't know nor do I care, I desperately need help and I need a direction to follow. If anyone has been through this, is going through this or can help, PLEASE!!!!!
