Hi there -
I don't know what this is, but its not an std if its passed through casual contact or sharing beds.
I did read something about Morgellons disease, which produces symptoms like yours, but docs are split on whether or not it even exists. Its not an std, but you might find some info by googling it.

My dermatologist said that technically it isn't an STD but it is transmitted in a fashion very similar and concurrent with contracting other STDs(i.e. sleeping next to someone. I am familiar with Morgellons but that involves hallucinations and the visibility of thread-like fibers protruding out of scabs on the body. I am convinced I have some sort of parasitic infection of the skin, that are closely tied to the hair on my body...
You might post this on the dermatology forum. This isn't any std that I know of.

I'm not sure why you are posting this in the std forum, as what you have clearly isn't an std.
You should try posting in our dermatology forum -
http://www.medhelp.org/forums/show/65 - and you should see your doctor already. Its been 5 months.
i have the exact same thing it's really freaking me out I don't know what it is but if you found out please let me know I have been with out sleep for the past two days thinking about the worst
this came shortly after having unprotected sex with a girl my friend recently told me he caught a trich std from but I have the same thing I feel like things are crawling on my body or hair it may just be a parasite I'm not sure
If you have a questions start your own thread
Hey, How are you doing?
I know this is a really old post and i'm guessing you probably wont even see this?
I was hoping you might be able to tell me if you ever found out what your problem was?
I believe alot of people around the world are having this same problem. The medical world either doesnt know what it is or are playing dumb because they have no idea how to deal with it? Whether it be a reaction from new chemcals or poisens that are put into mainstream food supplies or everyday items? Who knows?
Knowbody seems to know.
They definitely do not want to go out of their way to help, other than give you every itching relief product there is.
I have the exact same symptoms, to the detail, just like you describe it, to the word. I have read many, many reports of other people having the exact same issue, which is very disturbing.
So, it's been almost 10 years since you posted. I hope you read this message. I pray you will see it and reply to me.
Did you ever find an answer or a cure for this problem?
