Re: Post 24h report

I think 55213 was trying to help and caution you of what can occur when self medicating with pharm drugs. it wasn't a criticism. those animal medications of praz and ivermectin are what's used for people and that was the point...that these drugs carry risk, especially when taken without medical supervision as we don't have full understanding of how many types of parasites there may be, and the extent of burden. these determine degree of risk. they also are some of the considerations for type of dosing and time line. the problem isn't the drug itself, it is ineffective dosing has the potential of causing more harm and worsening an already bad condition.

it's very frustrating because we get no help from doctors on this, they generally will not believe people can have worms, let alone infestation and will sooner diagnose you delusional with referral for psychiatric consult. I know how you feel taking this into your own hands, doing whatever you feel you must to be well. actually I've done things in haste and desparation ...it wasn't smart, and I got worse as a result. which is not to say this will happen to you, only to be careful as you may not have been aware of the risks. it's risk of scattering or hyperimmune response to dieing parasites, which can be far and away anything we may experience on herbs. I'm glad you're okay, just be careful.
