Has anyone ever had lumps on their head durning the onset of Morgellons? My mom has three lumps on her head and said when she was young she got hit by a bar and it got a lump than went away, but just lately she noticed she now has three lumps and she said they itch . I personally have never had lumps accure without a reason and when they have they always went away in a couple of days or so. My mom is 74 and going strong but I pretty sure she has morgellons, she told me durning my visit that her eye lashes are growing longer and her feet are sticky, and some of her fingers are kind of deformed which to me (IMO) is a sign of a problem. Any fed back on this would be appreciated .
hugs massena

Oh Massena, I'm sorry to hear that this is happening to your mom. Just so sad how we have no answers on what we really should be doing. I wonder if ice on those bumps/lumps would help? I sure don't know. I hope they go away without any problems.

I'm sorry girlfriend... I don't have any lumps on my head tho either, so I don't think it would be from morgellons. But if they just appeared without anything happening to cause them to, I'd suggest she go into the doctor just to have them checked out. Stay on the safe side ya know?
The deformity in her fingers could very well be arthritis. I know several people whose fingers are that way from it. The stickiness in her feet might be due to humidity and heat? But I really can't say... you know how my feet and hands are. Let me know how it all goes ok?
love you ~~ bannanny

Hi Massena, I have lumps (nodules) all over my head now! There are organisms inside...have gotten a few out, one was a tiny fly! Could only see it clearly under the scope though. I must have at least 25 or 30 of them and they ALL itch or feel as though they are biting. I tried Toni's regimen of the yogurt and milk...but nothing has happened yet. Jo from the UK suggested strong green tea followed by peppermint oil and a vinegar rinse. Haven't tried that yet, but will. I sure hope your Mom doesn't have this...have you looked at the spots on her head? I think you can pretty much tell what you're looking at... Here's praying that you and your Mom don't get any more of this! Hugs, ctbarb

Barb,
I'm sorry to hear you have these lumps also. (the yog/milk mix) I believe will only remove the black specks, and it's still good for things we can't see with the naked eye.
(There is a gal I know who posts seldomly) and she had the lumps also on her scalp.
I believe she had it surgically cut out, and said they were rooted very deeply.
(I'll see if I can contact her), because I don't know for certain if that rid them.

Massena and Barb,
Something that I'm wondering: do the lumps ever move? Or are they stationary?

At the beginning of my Morg infection I had a very painful almond shaped lump behind one ear. I had another lump along the jaw line. Also had lumps on my back. The lump o9n my jaw line had a greyish pink worm buried very deeply in it. The lumps on my back which I finally ripped open in frustration from all the itching had pinkish white shrimpshaped things in them.
I suggest a long soak in a very salty hot bath. Then try rubbing the lumps with ivectermine paste mixed with a little dmso.
Taking Albendazole, antifungals and doxycycline has helped me alot.

Doesn't really sound like morgellons, but I would suggest using a Calamine suspension with Zinc Oxide in it as a very effective means of keeping the feet dry and deodorized/detoxified.
After using it to fade my morgellons scars, I found that it worked wonders when painted in between the toes to dry up and prevent athletes foot. I was getting horrible cases after working in the woods due to my feet sweating all day, not breathing well in my boot, but after using the Calamine suspension I haven't had an issue since and my toes stay dry all day even if I put shoes on without socks.
-Nick

I have had the lumps on my head almost from the beginning of this nightmare. I think it is a mass of whatever we have in different places on our scalp. I had a biopsy done on my scalp a few months after I got this and the test came back that everything was "NORMAL". I am a hairstylist as I have posted on a few occasions. NOTHING about my hair or scalp is normal.

Lumps on the head? Where? Someone else had one behind the ear and another on the jaw line? Is it me or does this sound like it could be lymph nodes? These are in laymens terms the detox channels, front line, in our bodies. Whether it be chemical toxins, biological toxins created by the multitide of reactions that take place in our bodies, dead cellular debris, etc. And yes, the known parasites. Do these lumps you all have follow the lymphatic channels? If one were to have lumps in the head or neck region in which they were to suspect lymph nodes, then one should be questioning why the system is backing up or what those specific nodes are being exposed to. Are you using anything different in these areas versus the rest of your body? Any abcessed teeth, untreated ear infections, resistent sinus infections, etc?

I believe Morgs is in our lymphs, have from the beginning because (having had approx 100 brand new lesions) every two weeks that do follow the lymphatic systems "route" has been very obvious to me - because of the lesions I'd experienced. Those "helped me see the path" that these lesions were on, because they weren't just arbitrary "sores"...that were scattered. Not at all. Having had all those allowed me to see (this wasn't from something external) as in "bug bites" from my environment, because of the mirror image/symmetry" of the thousands of lesions I'd gone through. Lesions (don't appear) externally on the same exact places on both sides of the body as many of ours have, (unless it's being distributed) from "within". Unless critters (had maps) of where they bit on the right side to do the same bites on the left side to match. Just playing. So many people I know, friends of mine (that don't ever post), have told me about having a lump on the back of their neck too. Usually it's not "directly" in the middle of the back of their neck, but off to the side (right or left). This link isn't directly about Morgellons at all...but oh how it sounds familar (many people with lumps behind their ears). I just googled lymph nodes swollen and there's so many (saying familar things) that we can relate to also. www.doctorslounge.com/oncology/forums/backup/topic-3437.html

Everyone in my family has morgellon's and we all have lumps on our heads that we didn't have before. I don' t know if the lumps move, but they get bigger than smaller and then bigger again. Sometimes I have a huge lump on top of my head, then it goes down only to rise again. I hate to think what's going on inside.

This is pretty informative about our Lymphatic System, and you'll see...(the face, the scalp, neck, behind the ears etc) all areas, where "possibly" this stuff is "jammed up"...."might" be the cause of our encapsulated 'swellings/lumps'. I don't know how a lymphatic massage works, or what stimulates the lymps to drain better, but it might behoove us to learn. This is just about the head and neck area (and behind the ears)...there's lots more though:Head and Neck. Occipital Glands, upon the upper part of trapezius or com-plexus, drain the occipital region of the scalp and upper and back part of the neck. Mastoid Glands, on the upper part of sterno-mastoid and the mastoid bone, drain the parietal region of the scalp and the ear. Facial Glands, small glands in different parts of the face, including several small groups situated beneath and behind the masseter muscle, draining the different parts of the face. Superficial Cervical Glands lie superficial to the sterno-mastoid along the course of the external jugular veins. They drain the superficial part of the neck and mastoid region. There are also numerous small groups draining the tongue, front of the neck, pharynx, and larynx (see Fig. 59). chestofbooks.com/health/body/massage/Handbook-Of-Anatomy-For-Students-Of-Massage/Section-XII-Lymphatic-System.html

I find that link also interesting because:
Some of us who've had the lumps or lesions, have noticed that we only get the lumps and or lesions, "above the knees" only.
And above the elbows "only".
Whereas some of us have had the lumps and or lesions, ONLY below our elbows, and only below our knees.
IMHO, it seems that "however or where ever" our lymphatic system gets "plugged" up or distributes more freely, is where this shows up in lumps or lesions - and it's usually the same on both sides of the body when it's doing this.
((( just a possibility )))
