Sorry, you are right, I was wondering how is worldtravel2014 is feeling...
Glad you are getting better.
I think you meant worldtravel2014. I am fine.Thanks. My problems are just getting my strength back due to several injuries. It is coming along.

How do you feel, any changes? Hope you are much better
FYI my friend on medhelp, mojogal says you can write her about the Cowdens or essential oils if you want to. Also, you can talk to her about Lyme.
mkh9
Actually no. But she didn't find out that she had Lyme's disease for about 10 years after being bitten by a tick and by then it had spread to her heart and brain. So she pretty much has it chronically and keep it in check. She is doing better that she used to be but has flare ups. She hasn't cured herself with cowdens. She has some herbal oils she was using from I believe Young Living that seemed to help her but they were too expensive for her. I actually am trying one for my back pain. I don't normally believe in these things and have tried everything from steroid shots to lidocaine patches, physical therapy, accupunture, and so forth and none worked. Walking has helped my back pain. But the essential oil from this Young Living was given to me by a neighbor and it seems to help sometimes. The thing for me is exercise. But that is different for your problem. So maybe the essential oils work better than Cowdens for Lyme according to my friend. You can talk to her if you like she is on here. Her name is mojogal. I can tell her you want to talk to her. She hasn't been feeling well lately but if she knows you are going to write I'll tell her.

Is your friend improving?
A friend of mine uses Cowden for Lymes disease and also some coinfections one of which is a parasite. So, it is worth a try.

I think cowden protocol gets parasites and various other microbes i believe. I will look more into it.
Well you have helped me lots already so thanks

I understand where you are. Well, does the Cowden method have an antiparasitic and anti fungal herbs? I think they have antiparasitic.
I am sorry you are going through all this. I wish I could be more helpful.
mkh9
well i cant get a diagnoses. I am being referred to a renal doc now and no doubt that wont get me anywhere and i dont have money to be throwing at all these alternative tests or any tests so i think a broad spectrum protocol my help bc I am not getting better but am getting worse and need to take action. I have been sick for 9 months or so.
So you do know which cowden protocol to use for parasites? Fungi are a different matter. I don't like treating things without a diagnosis.
mkh9
idk if i am allergic to mold but a couple years ago our washer flooded the house and we had to get the floors and a bunch of stuff replaced and we just usually dont feel so well in this home but there is no obvious mold however we havent had an inspector come out.
I feel as tho i need to do a parasite protocol or some type of microbial protocol like cowden so that way I can help fight off whatever infections caused me these problems.
Do you have allergies to mold? Is there a lot of mold or just the typical shower mold etc. If not allergic and not that much it may not be that. I hope your ultrasound is negative.
mkh9
I do not want to be exposed to anymore radiation. I did do an ultrasound tho and am waiting on results. Since I have a positive ANA 320 and apparently kidney issues now, the doc has mentioned several times that there are some autoimmune diseases that attack blood vessels and affect the kidneys so I may need to do more testing. I also am suspecting mold in my home so am wondering if that is playing a part. Anyways, the reality is that whatever infections i got have triggered this autoiimune illness.
Have you had a CT scan of the kidneys? It might be a good idea. Also, do you have any trouble urinating? It could look for kidney stones.
mkh9
Yes i have discomfort on my right side near kidney...
Well, creatinine levels are a sign of kidney problems so it is best to get it checked out. Maybe there is some kidney stone in there. Do you have any back pain?
mkh9
the doctor referred me to a nephrologist because of high creatinine levels and positive ANA so he is thinking some type of autoimmune disease that affects blood vessels. IDK what the hell happened to me or what infected me and I hope this damned doc knows what he is doing.
I gave up seeing docs after 12 months doing every tests is out there...let things sort it self out and calmed everything down and it helps. Just keep accupanture, yoga, and a lot of warm and sun, a lot of sleep, healthy diet all together will help a lot... I believe the roots in my case were in the chronic stress that manifested in physical symptoms... I found a lot of people went thru the same stuff, you are not alone... Try calm your mind, body, emotions and spirit it will do wonder! Stay healthy! I know how you feel, I really do, just remember it will past, you will get better
Thanks. Will keep in touch
I think you need a bit of a break. Getting all that blood drawn is tiring . I have been through that too. But please don't give up. You will find out what is going on. Take a break and then maybe check into the parasite issue with an infectious disease doc. I would let them know that your eosinophil count had been high and the other symptoms. Also, let them know what you were tested for and the results. I never thought it was autoimmune. But, I hope you are ok. Let know how things go when you feel like it.
mkh9
hello,
I havent done any more tests after the auto immune ones. We were waiting on those results. I just got the rest of them back and they are neg--ant smith rnp, the other anti smith, and the dsDna. So, it appears I just have a positive ANA, 320 speckled.
I have a followup with my doc about all this and so I can ask him more about parasites. I am currently seeing a Family Practice doc and not a Rumi.
I believe I am done with the docs. I am too tired and weak to be going every week and getting blood drawn. This constant testing and visiting has psychological impacts and it could be making me sicker. I am tired of fighting and getting no where. I will try and do some broad spectrum parasite protocols then I am done trying to find out what is wrong. I will accept my fate and let this kill me bc it seems to have not gotten better and I have been dealing with this for 8 months. I am tired. I will let it do what is needs to do.
