Is anyone experienceing numbness? Unnatural amino acids, if large enough, can block nerve signals because they get stuck inside the potassium channels.

I had both. The numbness was in my legs and hands. Since about one year it is gone, but sometimes still feel some local "electricity". Like a tadpole is having a short swim, I don't know how to explain this feeling. Brain fog/ apathy is still there, it improved a bit/ less severe.

I've had numbness in almost all areas of my body over the years. My feet go numb easily, pins & needles & I get the electric shocks. Increased headaches, brain fog, forgetfulness, & apathy.

Yes, Skiz. There can be a physical or emotional/mental/neurological numbness that goes along with this.
Let's say, for the sake of creating a vocabulary, from observations; that there are various stages, phases or types of Morgellons that the numbness is more apparent in the initial phase of the worse types than with others, seems to lessen with time for some, but never completely goes away. I believe it is noted in our case studies that the central or peripheral nervous systems are affected, this would have to be looked at more closely.
How I know that it is present in the "system" is because I have a bad ear... it's been cracked open for years now, it should hurt like heck... but, it doesn't. I feel a mild pinching sometimes, I don't know how I even have an ear left, it looks like a dog chewed on it, my nerve feedback pain indicators are not working properly or the immune system doesn't 'see' it. I should have gotten some sort of secondary infection by now - nope, none.
In the beginning when I touched it - the particle material would numb my fingers, like a very strong (white powerdy) numbing agent. It still numbs them, 3 years later - but, it's not as a severe numbing effect as it used to be.
I was also bed-ridden for 6 or 7 months in the beginning. I could not get the clothes from the washing machine into the dryer - it was that bad. I just had to keep re-washing them until I could manage to get the job to completion. I was in a bad, zombie place. Fortunately, someone moved in with me to help - I wasn't able to cook, clean, etc. I compared it to a form of paralysis. In the more severe cases, it makes being able to function on a daily basis, almost impossible - I wrote that it's like being in a long room with many doors, each door represents something you need to do. You stand there looking at the doors but aren't able to open a single one, in other words, it made me not able to initiate a project - the ability to start anything or to help myself in the most basic ways.
I am no longer bed-ridden, I could fend for myself now if I had to but not as near as well before I became evident. That's why I say that the numbing effect seems to lessen with time. The amount of time that I was bed-ridden, and as others have reported, was approximately 6 - 7 months.
(This also correlates to what is described in Revelation 9 - as a plague to come. It's not designed to kill us out and out:
"5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.")
Our feelings for the things we enjoy leaves us. We become more apathetic, we're numbed with our emotions somehow.

Hi everyone,along with all the usual symptoms,do you find if you use any particular muscle more than normal,that muscle will become locked in pain for weeks or even months? Sometimes the pain is absolutely crippling. Do you have to be careful of everything you do or things go terribly wrong? Like me,everything gets lost or misplaced including myself. This is a real nightmare after a lifetime of self confidence and independence. Love yas,Morghunter

This is a real nightmare after a lifetime of self confidence and independence. Love yas,Morghunter Hi there morghunter, I sure can relate. These days I can not over do things physically, if I do my back, hips & legs will suffer greatly. My legs can go like lumps of lead, knees crack & want to give way. The pain has been disabling, though touch wood I'm a lot better than I was. I find that I have to be super organised (was always a very organised person prior to this) otherwise I literally get lost in my own home. I feel we have been robbed of our innocence along with our independence & once self confidence. Love & hugs to you - itchin

I hobble around now and have a lot of pain and lack of stamina. Wish it only lasted five months. I can relate to the difficulties w/organization. I am abosolutely wiped after walking more than a block and I used to walk all over Manhatten. My Headaches are horrible. I know I have a number of other coinfections too, and I don't know how much they play into it. This disease is like a thief in the night. I don't like to drive anymore and its rare that I venture out. I have pain running through finger, legs and back but today I had a great day. I walked my dog and was cheerful and feeling energetic till evening. The good days really make life worthwhile. Looking at how to turn this around so there are more good days than bad. Love and Light ibzahippy

A coating of fatty tissue called a myelin sheath encloses nerves in the human body, in much the same way that a single electrical cable may enclose many wires, these nerves are grouped in bundles together and act as a unit. Very often a definite cause for the onset or origin of tingling and numbing sensation in the body cannot be identified, even though many types of disorders can bring it about. Tingling and numbness can also result when the myelin sheath is slowly eroded in progressive and deadly diseases like multiple sclerosis. Tingling and numbing sensation in the body can also be brought out by the deficiency of certain nutrients in the body. Supplements and herbs Using nutrients, as supplements in the diet will help, no matter what the underlying reason or cause of the tingling and numbness in the person.www.herbs2000.com/disorders/numbness_ting.htm

Hi Toni Very cool. I fallowed the link and found I take alot of those and durring the lead up years to the out break of body bugs I had everything falling asleep. My hand when I brushed my teeth or hair. If I leaned any part of my arm or hand on anything in any position would start falling asleep right away. My eye lids would fall asleep. Very frustrating. Sense the bug outbreaks and the detoxing and cleaning up the diet and taking alot of Cayenne and Flaxseed alound with super foods and B-100s. I have rarely had any more troubles with numbness. Unwittinly I must have solved the problem. All this time I did not know why my had cleared up after getting so bad over the years before the body bugs and specks and things. In Light Lynn

Hi Lynn, I sure agree with you, in that our body needs these things, and the stronger we build it and give it what it needs, and give it back what might be being depleted (by symptoms) we can usually determine what that is - but the more armed we are to fight back all these pathogenic attacks, the less likely we are to totally fall from them or even experience the symptoms. Symptoms are signals or signs that we just have to pay most attention to because it's the body screaming that it's needing something, or there's a problem occurring because it needs a boost in help. The body daily gives us "signs" ...and we've just got to listen to it, especially now because we don't know exactly what we're dealing with. So doing what we can...we need to do that everyday. I think I'm like you in that by taking several supplements, eating cayenne pepper on many different foods etc, all these things contribute silently to helping fight off more symptoms which lead to problems. And I'll sure admit, it's the most inconvenient pain in the rear end....taking supplements daily, (some are in the morning) and some are in the afternoon. The keeping track of them of which ones to take when, and what did I just take, and what do I need to take now is like living by a clock - and then by the time the day is fiiiiiiinally done - it's like tomorrow is then here again, and it's time to do it all over again and repeat the whole thing. But...it's been worth it.

Hi Toni Yes it is great to build up with the suppliments and detox. I have not felt this healthy in years in spite of the body bugs and Morgellons things being put out of the body. I was one of those people that always took care of everyone else and ignored all my health issues. I rarely went to a Doc and very rarely got sick till the six or eight years of problems leading up to this stage of the things comming out of the body and bugs trying to move into the body. Well it finally led me to actually doing things for me. Finally I do big things for my health and reward myself. I would make sure everyone else had creature comforts and would skip buying for myself. Like make up, hair cuts, clothes. Now when I can squeeze it in I get a hair cut, bought Organic for a birthday the first year when very covered in bugs, and take a little time to watch for clothes I need to replace. I buy some organic foods and try to get others to eat them as well for healths sake at times. Lol. The grandkids think that Annies rabbit makes the best food...... In Light Lynn

Hi Everyone! Any particular supplements/treatments that really made a difference with the brainfog issues? I was taking a little of everything when mine finally cleared and it is hard to pinpoint exactly what made a difference. It did finally go away though.... Just so those that are addled right now know... it goes away. Xib
for me it was maybe a combo of vits & mins, lots of vit D, curcumin, tumeric, cinnamon, omega 3's & 6's,allicin, CoQ-10, melatonin and plenty of sleep and the list goes on and on. Just trying to narrow it down =)

Hi Xib
For me brain fog was better after getting the B-100s along with the CoQ-10 along with Collidral minerals. Also helps with the Chronic fatigue. Some days I have to take a secound B-100 at lunch to give me a little pick me up. Coconut oil in the morn revs me up live a cup of coffee.

Are you making fun of me, cause I meant what I'd said. I notice the brain fog whenever the color red is in sight. I wouldn't make jokes about that.
