ok Humaworm, I'll stop with the current treatment and wait till my humaworm stuff comes in. Should I start with both cleans right away?

This may sound like a stupid question, but will I ever get back to normal again? Have I suffered some serious brain damage because of this whole parasite infestation? This has been one seriously long month of hell for me... Thanks

Hello Comsat,

I'll be more then happy to collaborate with you on this, maybe together we can figure out what this thing is and end it. First, let me answer your questions:

"Which symptoms disappear, which persist (if any) and so on."

So far it's been about 1 month since the start of my serious symptoms. Initially what brought this whole thing on was a feeling of lightheadedness after drinking a StarBucks on April 5. I came home and felt really sick after (nausea, weakness). These kinds of symptoms were very new to me so I ended up going to the general hospital were they did a simple blood test and found nothing wrong. I spent the rest of the week cycling through periods of extreme fatigue, restlessness, depression, mental fog and headaches. As the week slowly progressed (what seemed like ages) I started to slowly feel better, by Tuesday that following week I felt very close to normal again (I was so happy this whole thing was over), then around 10 PM that day it happened again... What felt like a total immune system crash :( The only thing I did different that day was eat a whole bunch of potato pancakes earlier. Since that day I haven't really fully recovered at all. Every week or so I get some diarrhea, but for the most part my stools are normal. What happens to me is that I seem to cycle through different symptoms every few hours or so, sometimes more, sometimes less. I get bouts of extreme fatigue, weekness, mental fog, headaches, insomnia, stomach pains, passing gas, belching. I find that I can't sit still and conentrate anymore, which really sucks since I used to love movies... Now I can't watch more then 5 - 10 minutes of something :( I also seem to have been hypersensitised to certain things (I can't watch someone dieing anymore). Sometimes (rarely) I get the feeling of being stoned or having an out of body experience. These symptoms seem to have gotten abit better about a week ago (April 21) when I started using the anti parasite medication. I had a moment the night I started the medication where I thought I was experiencing a massive anxiety attack, extreme restlessness all night... I now know that was a healing crisis, but boy was it scary at the time. I have now stopped taking anything until my Humaworm stuff arrives (as per the moderators advice), hopefully it will come tommorrow.        

"Where did you spend your time in Peru"

I spent about a week in Lima, followed by a month and a half in Iquitos (Jungle, lowlands) and then came back to Lima for one more week.

"have you been bitten by insects (highlands or lowlands/rainforest);"

Yes, many times... I did a jungle tour while I was there and got bit by quite a few Mosquitos. Don't think I got bit by anything else. 

"have you had issues with food while there;"

I did have many issues with food while over there, I would get diarrhea fairly frequently. But I did not pay it too much attention, thinking it was simply travellers diarrhea.

"did you treat your drinking water (filter/tablets or whatever) etc."

I drank bottled water almost the whole time, there were instances when untreated water passed my lips when I was brushing my teeth and some of the dishes I used were cleaned with untreated water.

Now can I ask you some questions, you mentioned that 30 years ago you had your first parasite experience, I assumed that was cured in short order and that the last 4 years have been a seperate episode? What were your symptoms like both on both occasions? I assumed you've gone to the doctors several times and done blood, urine and stool tests... Did they all come out negative both times? How long have you been on Humaworm, and what symptoms are you finding are going away? After that first bout, did you get back to 100% eventually, how long did it take? Have you tried any other treatments (like Albendazole or Flagyl) any luck with those? I wish you and a your friend a speedy recovery also... I hope and pray that we have a parasite infection (that we can treat) and not something like a virus :(
