Morgellons Disease
Severe fatigue and a skin-crawling sensation that feels like insects could be signs of Morgellons disease, a skin disorder currently controversial because it isnt widely recognized as a diagnosis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating reports of the condition, which shares characteristics with Lyme disease, schizophrenia and a mental illness called delusional parasitosis. Most reported cases so far have appeared in California, Texas and Florida.
