Morgellons Disease

[Guest guest]

There was a news clip about this on this past Saturday and I

noted in this article a tie in to autism so I thought I would post

it...knowing this group, this is old news here. Our family does not

have this disease. Although not much is known about this they

speculate it has something to do with Lymes. Anyway FYI. Robyn

From the below link:

Neurological function severely affected

The peripheral nervous system is often affected by this disease, but

the most significant element of the infection, appears to be the

effect on the central nervous sytem. Nearly all people with this

illness report extreme difficulty with mental concentration and short

term memory. Mood disorders, such as depression and Bipolar Disorder,

are extremely common in this group of patients, affecting well over

half of all individuals reporting symptoms of Morgellons Disease.

Parents of children with Morgellons disease report that the majority

of these children have ADHD, ODD, mood disorders, or autism. It is

estimated that 65% of these children have some form of psychiatric

illness, and 10% have an autism spectrum disorder.
