Morgellons Disease: Painful Infection Baffles Doctors
Like something out of "Aliens," excruciatingly painful skin lesions extrude a mysterious, fibrous material -- in different colors. One sufferer finally took his life to end the agony. And some doctors think people are making it all up.
Welcome to the bizarre infection called Morgellons Disease, which has afflicted over 100 people in south Texas and other southern states. Antibiotics eventually help cure the lesions, but no bacteria, virus or fungus has been identified with the affliction. And besides the physical suffering, Morgellons patients have problems with their nervous systems: mood disorders, ADD/ADHD, or memory problems.

In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For isotretinoin, the following should be considered:
1. Allergies:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to isotretinoin, acitretin, etretinate, tretinoin, or vitamin A preparations.
2. Pregnancy:
Isotretinoin must not be taken during pregnancy because it causes birth defects in humans.
3. Breast-feeding
Isotretinoin should not be used during breast-feeding because it may cause unwanted effects in nursing babies.
4. Children
Children may have the side effects of back, joint, or muscle pain more often than adults.
5. Older adults
Older people may have a greater risk of problems and adverse effects when taking isotretinoin.
