I love wiki! I noted that lab results of my recent ER visit showed high levels of neutrophils, but supposedly within the normal range. Following that, I discovered that it isn't the bacteria or filaria sealing themselves in. It's my immune system trying to seal them out via a process discovered in 2004, known as Neutrophil extracellular traps. Webs! I couldn't understand what was making the webs, now I know. Something new everyday. Now to find out what Charlotte has in her web!
No, I've not moved back to Ohio yet. Been fighting worms, feline strongyloides & tapeworms. Something got in my ears, made me dizzy, couldn't talk or write, went to the local ER, big mistake. Diagnosed with delusional parasitosis. Sent to funny farm, where they must've given me enough drugs to nearly kill me. Woke up three days later in the neuro trama center with no memory of the prior 3 days. Neuro trama doctors said I have a brain infection (imagine that) and suffered an encephalopathy, not my first. Spent 18 days there while things I had previously trapped in my calves grew up my thighs, scrotum, back, shoulders and down my hands. Now I have something alive in my hands! Don't know if it's filariasis or Lyme spiros. They've sealed off my lymphatic system at the wrist, twitching and spasming, and it isn't my muscles. No way I'll go to the hospital, no more trips to the farm. I mentioned Lyme in the hospital, the doctor said a week of antibiotics would cure it! Idiot, what did he think was in my brain? Been there 40+ years and he thinks a week of obviously ineffectual antibiotics is going to flush it out! Anyway, I'm waiting on IGENEX results.
Hey Bob,
So nice to see your post!
Well, either you got in my brain, or I got in yours. lol!
Just read my most recent post here to allisson68 and suze62.
I am so glad you are not a doctor, and again having said that,
if you were one, you would probably be a great one - incognito
perhaps, like many LLLMDs.
In previous lives I was a healer, often tortured, but frequently appreciated.
That explains my extraordinary pull towards what I'm doing. Not that I like getting tortured! It's just so gratifying, knowing you make a difference in someone's life.
And my brain sometimes connects to areas where I have no prior training,
no experience and yet I surprise myself by just knowing stuff or "seeing" solutions. And you have a similar ability I believe. Who knows. Maybe in a previous life we were associated or related.
Doctors are not good scientists but the biggest issue with doctors is :
They are the gears of a dysfunctional medical system. They are not independent, free willing and fully functioning patient care driven medical practitioners. Even if they have the intentions.
Did you finally move to Ohio? was it ? it's been a while.
But you're absolutely right with your observation, and this could be the missing link with conventional medicine in regards to Lyme Disease, Parkinson's,Lupus, Cancer, HIV, MS, Alzheimers, FMS, CFS...
Unfortunately those infectious micro-organisms become...us, by sharing our cell membrane, our energy and our DNA.
I am certain future generations when studying history, there will be chapters on how terribly wrong- in recent modern times- society approached these medical matters, putting millions of sufferers in limbo!
Take care!
