Physician Blasts CDC Over Morgellons From Dr. Edward Spencer
To whom it may concern:
Ms. XX was seen in my Petaluma Office. She suffers from a disorder that has been called Morgellons Disease. This is a very debilitating disorder, and no cure is available. Some treatments are available, but their effectiveness is extremely limited.
On January 28, 2009 Morgellons Disease was given a definition and ICD Code:
C17.800.518 by NIH/MeSH Tree Location for Morgellon's Disease.
C 17: Skin and Connective Tissue Disease
ICD Definition:
"An unexplained illness which is characterized by skin manifestations including non healing lesions, itching, and the appearance of fibers. There appears to be a strong association with LYME Disease."
I state unequivocally that the above definition is woefully incomplete and inadequate, and that the CDC and medical establish have been totally negligent in studying this system of disorders, and have provided no treatment, support, or comfort, at all to the patients afflicted. Morgellons is not a problem of "delusions of parasitois."
I will further state that evidence is emerging that this system of disorders (poorly named Morgellons) is in almost everyone, including those who read this letter, but that clinical manifestations are not manifested to a recognizable degree.
In summary Ms. XX is, in my opinion, ill from a system of disorders called Morgellons Disease, and is debilitated to the extent that she cannot work.
Very truly yours,
Edward Spencer, M.D.

Thank you Dr. Spencer for caring enough about your patients to post a comment and speak the truth as you did. As a sufferer myself I wish there were more like you who remember why they choose to become doctors. I can sympathize with a physician who does not know exactly what to do to help his patient, but please just say so if this is the case. What happened to microscopes, tests, and examining a patient before labeling him or her with DOP. For those of you who have been treatinhg patients and labeling them DOP without any tests and showing no compassion whatsoever for your patients, I don't wish you any harm. All I pray is that someday you are treated with the same degree of compassion and thouroughness that you have shown to others. May God be with you.
