“I don’t know what you THINK you got, but it COULDN’T have been stones, and it COULDN’T have been from the liver!” was what I was told when I made the mistake of mentioning that I had “flushed big, green stones” out of my liver to the Infectious Disease Dr. I had gone to for the EBV. But, they told me they could put me on anti-depressants, and if I wasn’t feeling better in 4 months to come back–
"None of this is cheap...nor is it fast"

One of the veteran members of a public health forum made the comment in a post about what he had learned through his “journey” so far, was that “none of this is cheap".
I have to agree with him…and I will add to what he said with “nor is it fast".
My Own Pictures Of My Sputum/Mucus/Slime And Stringy Stuff Up My Nose

Here are two photographs I took showing the sputum/mucus/slime I spit up constantly. I’ve also posted a picture showing the stringy stuff up my nose. The pictures are not great,(apologies), but it’s the best I could do.

There is so much that has gone on over the last 6 or 9 months. It’s mind boggling actually. In fact, I met with my psychiatrist the other day and he commented that really I should just sit down and publish a book. I laughed and asked who would want to read it. I can’t imagine… but, I guess, given the hits on my blog there might be a few people…
Time is passing and passing… so, before more time passes I want to just connect the events of Fall ‘07 to the current time.
A brief apology

For those of you who have been kind enough to read my posts… and then maybe wondered where I went, I want to say I’m sorry. I have actually thought about - even written but evidently didn’t finish - some other entries. I’ve been searching my little blog area and KNOW I wrote something which I now don’t see… So, maybe I’m confused or mistaken. In any case, I’m sorry.
When can I be the girl next door?

I am staring at the life outside my window. I am leaning on the windowsill, looking out. The neighbors that live just on the opposite row of houses have gathered, they are sitting in the garden drinking wine and talking, and laughing. 
There are two daughters sitting with them. I remember when they where just small kids running around and playing, now they are young ladies.
How long have I had this?

A year ago, when my liver enzymes had stayed elevated even after having had the gallbladder surgery, the N.P had thought to check for Epstein-Barr Virus. Sure enough, it had showed up as being highly positive for Chronic/Reactive EBV, meaning it most likely had been something I had had for some time.
I couldn’t remember having had Mononucleosus, but that is what EBV comes from
No wonder for the tiredness

I will be posting on what my experiences were in killing the parasites- I didn’t have a small load of them, I found myself with a large load of parasites- different varieties. In fact, the Alt. Med. Dr. told me that in the 15 years of practice, and dealing with parasites- he’s only had one other person as loaded as I have been with them. It has been no small chore, and definetly not cheap in working with him to get these things cleaned up. I wonder if there IS such a thing as being “cleaned up” from them, because we will always be exposed to them in our every day lives. Once a person is aware of ways of being exposed to parasites, it “could” potentially make a person paranoid- but none of us live in a glass bubble, we all will be exposed to them somehow, regardless of what the living conditions are–the fallacy is that only the “poor people in dirty living conditions” have parasites.
Dr! I have parasites!

Although my Alternative Health Care Dr. had dealt with parasites for 15 years, and had mentioned that may be something we would be addressing, I jumped the gun on him when I started the herbal dewormer myself and immediately started seeing the parasites in the toilet the next morning.
Skeptical About Going Back To My Own Doctor
By Jane on May 29, 2008 | In Parasites, My Story | 2 feedbacks »
I have had my results for quite some time now, about 8 months. Even when I received my results my first thought was NOT to go straight to my doctor and say “ok, this is what has been going on with me, can you NOW PLEASE HELP ME? 
I don’t doubt for one minute that my doctor would see, pretty clearly, that I have multiple parasite infections and other health issues requiring medical attention. My main concern was that IF I do go back, would I be treated correctly for ALL of the infections? It is a real dilemma for me. After all I’ve been through. I’m just not sure. I’d seen many people in the past who seemed, in my opinion, to treat ‘by the book’, and to treat one parasite infection like another. That’s how I feel. This is what concerns me the most.
