Prob Not Morgellons but..

I have not read the essay fully yet but I was reading, this thought came into my head.  Over the summer, I felt what was described as Morgellons disease. When I would sleep, I felt a crawling sensation that would keep me up at night. I came to the conclusion that it was my skin being super sensitive since I do actually have genetically bad skin. I asked my sister who is currently studying for medical school about this and she, just like the doctors, did not have an explanation but she did tell me to stop taking super hot showers because that made my skin worse. After listening to her advice, I realized that that crawling sensation left.
My question to you guys is that do you think that Morgellons disease is not actually a disease like something is actually causing the skin to become super sensative or it is a disease that doctors have no clue how to diagnose it ?

    I believe it is an actual disease with an unknown clarification that lead to less than about 20,000 cases in the US each year.
