How wonderful it would have been to not be sleeping like I have for years in agony and pain; then one day the prince would come and wipe it away with a simple kiss!
Or…what if doctors one day could take action and be responsible and listen to what we, the patients have to say. This will likely not happen unless the testing methods can get an accurate result out of any type of the thousands of parasites that exists in nature, or bacteria or virus or other infection for that matter. The truth is that the testing methods of today are not at all accurate in the majority of infections that we humans deal with. For me and everyone else who reads science reports often and for an extended period of time, this is a simple truth, but this truth might sound unbelievable for “beginners” in the health field. To make matters worse, this truth is impossible to comprehend for infectious doctors. And for us patients to be having our life at stakes because of their denial of the flaws of the testing methods is just cruel and inhumane.

Micrographs from my stool sample -
Here is the large nematode (again), this time it’s in a jar. 
It was grown in culture.
Experimenting

So I decided to use myself as some type of guinea pig. I started trying out supplements in health food stores and got to try a bunch of medicines from my doctors. To even try to list all the things I have bought or done would probably be impossible, but if you can imagine walking into a health food store and looking at any supplement on the shelf, I have most likely eaten it

Back in Sweden

So now I was back in Sweden and even worse off than in the beginning. I slept around the clock again for up to twenty two hours each day and thought I was going to die. After some time I lost most of my social contacts, since I could barely get an idea of what to speak of with someone, since my brain seemed not to be working any longer. One of my best friends still hanged around and she was always happy to speak for hours by herself, and I didn´t have to say much at all which was great

My life since turning twenty six felt like a never ending hell. The days, months and years passed by without me having any type of participation in life. Every spring I would lay in my bed hearing the birds sing outside and being surprised it was spring again. A bit like having a deja Vu experience and being sad that you remembered it. Everyday I would wake up and hoping to die or at least be in a coma instead of this hell. I bought a used TV and looked at shows like “Glamour” and the likes during the daytime because I couldn´t sleep around the clock at all times any longer and I also couldn´t stand up for more than a few minutes at the most and was to weak to sit at the computer. I was always alone all the time.
After about two years my parents helped me buy an old car so I could drive out to them, which was great because at this time I had started to get panic attacks from the pain and not being able to move or talk to people. At one point I noticed I could sit up for extended periods of time and started researching on the internet, trying to figure out a way to get better. I became a member of the board in Sweden for Me/Cfs and created information sheets and other information for other people in the same situation.
In the years to come I was still almost completely helpless and with no control of my body, and became very suicidal and depressed as well. I started experimenting with various herbs and medicines and got some temporary relief by some of it and this is what I did..
My so called life..

My life completely changed on the fourth of August, 1999. That date is one of the few personal dates I will always remember, except for my birthday which I don´t like to remember anymore. I was twenty three at the time and am thirty three today.

Walk away from myself
By Blue Apple on Jun 28, 2008 | In Parasites | 1 feedback »
People with very noticeable, painful and difficult parasite infestations are barely making it, mentally. 
To know and feel the ongoing war 24/7 is like being grilled by Beelzebub down there 
At many times I wish that I could detach myself from my body, take it off like a it would be a wet suit. Crawl out of myself.
Flukes were just the start of the parasites

It’s a good thing I took on an “investigative curiousity” about the whole parasite thing, because once you see them first hand, and know those things really were living in you, it could freak a person out. It all made sense why my liver had been hurting, and had felt like it was a full water balloon–ready to burst! It also made sense that it had never been the gallbladder–it had been the liver, and the reason the gallbladder hadn’t been functioning was because no bile was getting into it. The bile ducts were plugged up!
