I Am 49yr Old Female .. 5'7" 128lbs... No Ongoing

I am 49yr old female .. 5'7" 128lbs... no ongoing medical issues.. about 6 wks ago I noticed an indentation in my upper left thigh (size: 4 knuckles of a fist) ... then about 3-4 wks ago I started getting these hard white patches under the skin ... also noticed more and more brown age spots ... now in the last week my upper abdomen and feet are swollen ... the left more so... I googled the white hard embedded follicles ... read some of the forums and the word Morgellons kept coming up ... I have read many articles , personal stories and images and HOLY COW ... It looks exactly like what I see all over my body... I'm not psychotic!!! I had Valley Fever about 12 yrs ago and had a wedge of the mid lung taken out and a couple yrs ago I got infested by cat fleas at someones house (they embedded into my skin ... used apple cider vinegar all over my body to flush them out. I don't think it was the cat flea's because I've had this pea/lime size bubble on the inside of my lower lip and a long white tunnel across the inside cheek both on the left side. I even have these things in my eyes and my vision is getting worse daily. I know it sounds crazy ... this Morgellons. I have more symptoms and the worst part in the last few days are my lips. It feels like I kissed a cactus ... impossible to pull them out. They are like steel wool and feel like a thorn when touched. I know it sounds crazy ... this Morgellons. but I have not heard about the skin indentation, bloated upper stomach and feet swelling ... what do you think?
