Got Worms?

Don't ever try to deal with it outside your LLMD!  I tried the regular medicine man for help, got tagged as psychotic, fed enough antipsychotics, that they nearly killed me,  then I was brought back by their neuro-trama center.  They didn't want to let me go!  Got a couple weeks of IV ABX, which showed me the efficacy of the treatment, but they wouldn't give me any more, even though I was stuck there another couple weeks with a PICC line in!  Tinnitus is lower than it has been in a long, long time!

I am sorry that you are going through this!! There's gotta be someone out there that can help you, I hope,, Man, I don't even know what to say, or how I would handle that.

I hear ya loud and clear,, if they can't figure it out,, I am sure you will point them in the right direction,, but still,, there has to be someone that will listen and see for themselves that you are suffering with these things.

Please keep us updated,, and I hope you had a great Christmas,

I don't know what these things are!  They're advancing, and leaving my skin thicker behind them.  That's something, point it out to doctor and get thrown in the nut house!  Whatever it is responds to worm medication.  All they did in the hospital was let it grow from my calves to my shoulders and ignore me, they had it figured out!  Ha!

In the end I was diagnosed with a brain infection, causative agent unknown, though I was telling them I have had Lyme since I was a kid.  They won't listen, and the one doctor who knew anything about Lyme at all said a couple weeks of ABX ought to cure it.  You don't cure anything you've been packing over 40 years that quick.  All I wound up with was numb pinkies on both hands, and a great distaste for modern medicine.  No home soon, and no place to go, so might not be posting for awhile.
