Our Children

An increasing number of parents have contacted the MRF asking for help for their children with symptoms of Morgellons disease. Some of these children are no longer able to play sports or attend school, due to the symptoms of fatigue, joint and muscle pain, and extreme cognitive dysfunction.  

The most significant element of the infection, appears to be the effect on the central nervous system.  Parents of children with Morgellons disease report that the majority of these children have attentional difficulties, and approximately 10% of these children may have an autism spectrum disorder.

If you have a child with Morgellons disease and would like to join with other parents to give these children normal, healthy lives, please contact us. Email us here:  Advocacy@Morgellons.org
 
Our Children
“We love our children, more than words can ever say, more than life itself. To watch our innocent children suffer in such profound ways, and to helplessly watch as they lose precious years of their childhood, because their illness is too controversial, is beyond belief. We watch our children’s health deteriorate, their joints swell, their grades plummet, and we see them live their entire lives inside their beds. We watch them slowly slip away from us, as we are told to be patient, and wait for answers. This experience has been an indescribable nightmare for us, one we hope no other mothers, or fathers, will ever have to endure. Please work with us, to help our children, and all children who are affected by this devastating illness.
Bless the Beasts and the Children.”
