We are wrapping up this first round of Morgellons episodes, for now. The response to this topic has been overwhelming, in a positive way. So many people have been and are currently being affected by this, not only those of us who have Morgellons, but also those who are close to someone with MD. We have a feeling that this topic will not be limited to just these two episodes, and we will be planning to have some guests in the future. Along with future guests, we will have subscriber questions for guests who are in the medical field, including an ongoing dialogue within our Discord community.
Making a podcast like this, with a close friend about content that we care about, has been so inspiring and continues to feel important as an outlet. Our goals remain the same as they were prior to publishing the first episode and we hope that with the support and energy already from people all-around, we can continue to be a source of strength, compassion, and sometimes a good laugh.
You are NOT alone in this journey. We are so grateful for the connections we have already made in this process and cannot wait to see where it takes us.

In this episode we delve into Alison's origin story with Morgellons. We take a journey starting with years of being told "it's all in your head", then to being mis-diagnosed by lazy Doctors who continue to gas-light. Onto an accidental treatment success with a drug used for depression and anxiety, to finally feeling "seen" for the first time by an incredible Doctor willing to explore and know more! Join us for the ups and down, trials and tribulations of the Medical Industry, not just here in the US, but also in Europe and beyond!
Stay tuned for part 2, when your skin becomes a sweater!
