What are the signs and symptoms of Morgellons disease?

The Morgellons Research Foundation lists six primary signs and symptoms of the condition:

Skin lesions accompanied by intense itching.
Crawling sensations on and under the skin, often compared to insects moving, stinging or biting.
Fatigue significant enough to interfere with daily activity.
Inability to concentrate and difficulty with short-term memory.
Behavioral changes.
Fibers, which can be white, blue, green, red or black, in and on the lesions.
These signs and symptoms might appear along with changes in vision, stomach pain or other gastrointestinal symptoms, and changes in skin texture and pigment.
Morgellons disease shares characteristics with various recognized conditions, including attention-deficit disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder and a mental illness involving false beliefs about infestation by parasites (delusional parasitosis).
