TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Reminds me of Morgellons disease. The only way to cure these people is MORE PILLS!

Meh.  At least it keeps 'em quiet. 

I mean, if you can't cure them, you may as well keep them from waking the neighbors.
I've heard whispered rumors that they have done some studies on Obecalp which does wonders on stuff like this.  :wink:

Fuck sugar pills.  Fill the bastards to the brim with Klonopin, and keep them busy with side effects.

Morgellons may not be a disease on it's own, but rather a symptom of several other disorders, including Ekbom's.

Morgellon's seems more like attention-whoring, whereas this woman seems to be an Entomophobe.

I think this is an actual psychological disorder. I was surprised to hear the pest control guy use psychosomatic, and I think it fits.

Diseases like these are weird. It's hard to draw the line between "There's nothing wrong with you, GTFO and STFU" and "There is, in fact, something wrong with you, but it isn't what you think it is and you'll probably get mad at me if I tell you what's really going on."

Kinda like fibromyalgia: there is nothing, physiologically, wrong with the person's body, but they are in pain. And the mere idea of that annoys the piss outta people.

Physiologically, there is though. Neurology is based in physiology.

Point. I forgot to make that distinction.
