Do meth users often get une..

I have a sister who is recovering from meth use. She has an undiagnosed skin condition with phychological, gastrointestinal & neurological problems. She has convinced herself that she has a mystery disease called morgellans, her doctors are not convinced of this malady. They believe it is phychologically induced by her previous drug use, or a result of it by making her immune system weak. Her children also had this condition, but are now doing well in a temp foster home. I'm concerned for her but she will not listen to me or believe that it is caused from the meth. She's on a desperate mission to prove it is a real physical disease. I don't believe this nor do her doctors. Can anyone give me some insight on this subject?

Actually, some people really believe in Morgellans (sp?) disease. It's where small fibers are produced inside the body and work themselves out through the skin. Some scientists have examined these "fibers" and they have not been identified as anything synthetic (ie. they don't appear to be produced by man). The majority of doctors, however, don't believe this disease exists, despite many people who believe they have the disease, some of whom have died.

However, some patients who abuse meth have a habit of picking at themselves, creating sores. Sometimes its due to hallucinations, and sometimes a nervous habit.
